c program, file size limit, how to solve? 2G bytes limit.

[guru.slt]

my c program fails to write file that is bigger than 2G bytes. I used
gcc compiler. After writing for a while, It says: "filesize limit
exceed". How to solve this?

But, if I compile the c code by "c++", then it can write more than 2G
bytes in a file. Where is the problem for "gcc"?

the code is here:
---------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
char buffer[2281];

FILE* f_p;
f_p = fopen("output.vi", "w");

int i;
for (i = 0; i < 2280; ++i) buffer = 'a';
buffer = '\n';

while(1)
fwrite(buffer, 1, 2281, f_p);

}
------------------------------

Uh... Your problem seems to be either of the "C" sort (in that case ask
in comp.lang.c, down the hall) or of the "GCC" sort (in that case ask in
gnu.gcc.help, around the corner). In either case, I don't see a C++ one.
