I think there is one of int64, int64_t, _int64, _int64_t available if
a 64-bit integer type is really needed.

I did some testing on w32 with mingw32, and

#ifdef __MINGW32__
#define off_t off64_t
#define fseeko fseeko64
#define ftello ftello64
#endif

provided me with a 64-bit off_t. In LibGw32C, there are a number of 64
variants of standard functions: stat, fstat, seek, fseek, tell, ftell
are available as 64 variants as e.g. stat64. Somewhere there is also a
lseek64. What about fopen/fopen64 etc?

In GRASS, config.h does not know about __MINGW32__ even if __MINGW32__
is (somewhere else) defined, thus off_t is not redefined for mingw32,
and I placed the redefinitions for testing in another header. Looks
like a lot of hacking to get LFS for wingrass.
