Pb w/ >2GB files on AIX (4.3.3/5.1)

[Dean]

I have discovered that rsync 2.5.6 uses the mkstemp() routine wich do
not have a 64bits version into the AIX libc.

A very simple workaround to the big files writing rsync pb. is to not
use this routine that create files w/ mkstemp() by modifying the
"syscall.c" source file at line 154 as following :

#if defined(HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP) && defined(HAVE_FCHMOD)
become
#if defined(HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP) && defined(HAVE_FCHMOD) && !
defined(_AIX)


Hope this will help poor AIX users ;-)
