optware perl is maintained collectively. Initially gda and I made it cross compilable, and I was responsible for adding a few targets. Recently I've been busy with lot of other things, so have not been able to spend as much time on optware as I'd like.
Perl is not the easiest thing to cross compile and maintain.
Regarding this particular issue, I can only say that as far as I can see,
$ grep =64 sources/perl/
ccflags='-fno-
ccflags_uselargefil
cppsymbols='
I have to look at the build log to see if the option is being applied. Anyone is welcome to dig deeper and find the issue. We have too many issue finders and too few problem solvers.

> I found an issue with the pert stat() function, that fails for files larger than 2GByte on my QNAP TS119. This function is used from the rsnapshot-diff script to get all informations about a certain file for comparing different backup snapshots. It seems that perl is compiled without 64Bit support for file sizes, with 32Bit one can only store size numbers up to 2GByte. Here a little test script to verify this issue.
