Cygwin 1.7 passes the configure tests without needing any assistance from
gnulib, so it compiles neither fflush.c nor fseeko.c.  And cygwin 1.5 is
dead (no more development).  Therefore, cygwin will never be impacted by
this change, nor have to worry about the type of _offset.  But all the
same, your patch doesn't hurt anything.
