I had a brief look at the glibc patches.  Apparently, off_t and

How do you determine this?

I looked at the patch.

I wrote a simple program which prints sizeof (off_t) and sizeof (time_t)
inside the RISC-V environment.  I *didn't* define
`-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' when compiling the program.  Both values are
printed as 8 (bytes).  So it seems we're OK?

Yes, for 64-bit.  But the 32-bit parts do not look acceptable as-is.

If you only want the 64-bit architecture, then getting the author to submit only the 64-bit parts first to glibc upstream would be the prudent thing to do. (This has to come from the patch author, and the author has to assign copyright to the FSF.)
