Description

container-executor depends on libfts, and libfts has no largefile support. Upstream bug here: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11460

As a consequence, when compiled for 32-bit architectures, container-executor will not be able to open files larger than 2 GB.

Probably the easier thing to do is to rewrite this so that it doesn't use libfts.
