Sorry, I did not tell, it's Ultra, Solaris 7; I tried MC 4.5.53 and 54,
gcc 2.8.1 and 2.95.2

I would be happy to see files and sizes. 
It produces error message 
`File 'C.w2k.4G' exists but can not be stat-ed: Value too large for
defined data type'
and don't show this file on the panels. I see that it uses lstat, which
is 32bit and fails. There is lstat64 defined in sys/stat.h, but I
probably need 64bit compiler.
 
In calculating sum of sizes of several large (but <2G) files it performs
OK. (One of precompiled versions -- 4.5.40 from
http://www.lug.calpoly.edu/~bkurotsu/gnome-solaris.html produce negative
numbers).
