Correction.
I just examine POSIX more carefully and found that EINVAL should be
returned only if whence argument is negative for SEEK_SET since it is
direct incorrect usage. For SEEK_CUR and SEEK_END there different errno
supposed because they are computations:
[EOVERFLOW]
For fseek(), the resulting file offset would be a value which cannot be
represented correctly in an object of type long.
[EOVERFLOW]
For fseeko(), the resulting file offset would be a value which cannot be
represented correctly in an object of type off_t.
I.e. one place of my patch stays errno = EINVAL; and two other places will
be now errno = EOVERFLOW;
