Yeah, I wanted to remove the INT_*_OVERFLOW macros too but was a bit
wary of breaking things. That patch looks good, thanks.
I didn't check the others much but found this one funny [1]. I always
preferred this too:
offset = lseek (fd, 0, SEEK_DATA)
if (offset < 0)
over:
offset = lseek (fd, 0, SEEK_DATA)
if (offset == -1)
