[oe] Fwd: [meta-webserver] [PATCH] fix nginx with large files support

[Wangchong Zhou]

Hi,
The nginx receipt hardcoded size of off_t to be same as ptrsize, which can
break large files support on 32bit machines. The http range header will
fail with a code 416 on files bigger than 2G. Changing it to 8 will fix the
problem.

I don't think hardcode off_t to 8 is a neat way of fixing this. Is there a
better way to detect large files support?
