I think I may have found the problem, and I think it's in GNU tar.
GNU tar does this:
#ifndef __attribute__
/* This feature is available in gcc versions 2.5 and later. */
# if __GNUC__ < 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ < 5) || __STRICT_ANSI__
# define __attribute__(Spec) /* empty */
# endif
#endif
machine/_types.h does this:
typedef int __attribute__((__mode__(__DI__))) __int64_t;
typedef unsigned int __attribute__((__mode__(__DI__))) __uint64_t;
If __attribute__ is empty, __int64_t becomes a synonym for int. Bad.
Attached is a test program. Compile it w/o a -std option and see that the
output, which is sizeof(int64_t), is 8 as expected. Compile with -std=c99 and
see that sizeof(int64_t) is 4.
