open.2: EFBIG error is now EOVERFLOW (since Linux 2.6.24)
...
When a 32-bit app opens a file whose size is too big to be
represented in 31-bits, POSIX.1 specifies the error EOVERFLOW.
Linux used to give EFBIG for this case, but 2.6.24 fixed this.
Also, add some text to describe the error scenario in
more detail.
