In case it's useful, I noticed this thread from 2014 about ino_t and consequences of using -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2014-March/thread.html#49675
Yes, that was about glibc. For Autoconf and Gnulib it's long been decided that _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 was the way to go, if it made any difference for off_t. Since ino_t is used much less often than off_t, the argument is even stronger that _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is the way to go for alpha and s390x on glibc - changing the width of ino_t is a much smaller deal than changing the width of off_t.
