Hello,

Unfortunately, above patch doesn't work for my system:

      CC util/trace-event-info.o
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  util/trace-event-info.c: In function ‘record_file’:
  util/trace-event-info.c:192: error: implicit declaration of function
‘pwrite64’
  util/trace-event-info.c:192: error: nested extern declaration of
‘pwrite64’

And 'map pwrite' on terminal says:

  $ map pwrite
  The program 'map' is currently not installed.  You can install it by
typing:
  sudo apt-get install sgt-puzzles

I don't think this is the package what you said. Anyway quick grep'ing
pwrite tells me it's in the unistd.h:

  $ grep pwrite /usr/include/unistd.h
  extern ssize_t pwrite (int __fd, __const void *__buf, size_t __n,
  extern ssize_t __REDIRECT (pwrite, (int __fd, __const void *__buf,
			     pwrite64) __wur;
  #   define pwrite pwrite64

Thanks.
