[Gptfdisk-general] [PATCH 0/4] Fix some assorted bugs noticed when running sgdisk on a beaglebone black (32bit arm)

[Cody P S. <de...@co...>]

 "IeeeToInt: initialize suffix" fixes an issue where sgdisk would occasionally
try to create partitions that started very far into the disk.

  "Always use off64_t to avoid overflow issues" fixes an issue on 32bit when
CFLAGS are overridden and as a result _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is not passed. Note
that with this change, I don't think we actually need to pass _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
any more.

  "if there is any error, report it via return value" ensures that if there is
an error writing data, the command does not return success, hiding it's failure
until later in the calling script.

  "seek: detect and complain about seek overflows" fixes a theoretical issue
related to the off64_t issue fixed above. I haven't actually triggered the bug
this fixes, though.

  Always use off64_t to avoid overflow issues
