I'm curious why we're trying to replace fseeko impl at all, since I would expect the modern glibc impl to be suitable to use as-is.
It's to work around glibc bug#12799, a longstanding bug with ungetc and fflush. See the bug-gnulib thread that starts here: https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2009-01/msg00067.html Any chance of getting that glibc bug fixed in glibc 2.28? That should avoid the problem with Gnulib, and would be a good thing in its own right. In the meantime, the attached Gnulib patch is intended to work around the bug from the Gnulib side; does it work for you? (I haven't tried it on rawhide.)
