Try grepping for those identifiers in the MinGW headers. You won't
find them. You shouldn't assume that the conventions used in the
headers of one C library and compiler (glibc and gcc on Linux,
presumably) have any meaning in the headers for another C library and
compiler (the Microsoft C library/ies and gcc in MinGW's case). MinGW
is not some kind of "Linux emulator".

If you look in the <io.h> header you will find declarations of
functions _lseeki64() and _telli64() that take 64-bit file positions.
In <sys/stat.h> you will find the struct _stati64 and functions
_fstati64() and _stati64() that return file size as a 64-bit number.
