I have already told you that:

“
The second part would be fixing lockf in glibc
in the simple case used by sudo, which is locking the whole file.
It should be a matter of calling some lseek() inside fcntl() in
glibc/sysdeps/mach/hurd/fcntl.c and check whether it happens to be 0,
instead of just returning errno=ENOTSUP in the SEEK_CUR case.
”

(the lockf function itself is in glibc/io/lockf.c)
