Description:
------------
Using a filesystem w/ 64 bit inodes fails on Linux.  Functions that require stat'ing files (such as a recursive mkdir) fail - even when stat64 returns a 0 it overflows and sees it as non-existant... the end result is that if directory /x/y/z exists on a filesystem w/ 64 bit inodes, and you do a recursive mkdir of /x/y/z/a/b/c, c b and a will all return "does not exist" properly, but then it will keep going past z and y and try to create x (at which point it returns an error saying that x already exists).

What we found from testing and then googling, is that after you include <stdio.h>, you need to add this define for 64 bit inodes to be recognized by the gnu libraries:

#define __USE_FILE_OFFSET64


Here's some c code to test, you can run it with and without the define to see what happens:

#include <stdio.h>
#define __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/statvfs.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    struct stat buf;
    if (stat(argv[1], &buf) != 0)
    {
        printf("stat failed!\n");
        return 2;
    }
    printf("inode is %llu\n", buf.st_ino);
    return 0;
}


Long story short: the define above needs to be baked into PHP anytime it makes filesystem calls (or at least be added as a flag as a compile-time option for ./configure).

Reproduce code:
---------------
To test:

#!/usr/local/bin/php

<?php 

mkdir('/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam/zoo',0755,true);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
It should create /mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam/zoo.

Actual result:
--------------
It doesn't create the directory.  Note that even when stat64 succeeds and returns 0, it still keeps going.

stat64("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam", 0xbff6f2f0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "stat(\"/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/boog"..., 49stat("/mnt/test/blarg/bagga/booga/zim/zam") = -1

Confirmed that using LFS flags fixes this. See also bug #48099 in which 
this was tested and confirmed to work. 

However, LFS support requires a bit more fixes than just a compile 
flags..
