that on IRIX 6.5:
test-lseek.sh fails with SIGSYS.
This works around it by disabling the corresponding portion of the
test.
It's rare that program code uses a wrong 3rd argument of lseek.
Gnulib is a portability library; we spend time finding workarounds
for bugs
which affect one platform but not another one. Programs use lseek
usually with
a constant and symbolic third argument.

* tests/test-lseek.c (main): Disable test of errno for invalid third
argument.
* doc/functions/lseek.texi: Update.
That fixes it. Thanks :-)
Cheers,
Gary
