Re: [PATCH] making -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 the default for linux

Hi,

I think it's better to use AC macro for this stuff. What we need, is to
switch to 2.5 autoconf and add to configure.in:

dnl Check for how to do large files

AC_SYS_LARGEFILE(CFLAGS)
if test ${ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits} != no ; then
    CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=${ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits}"
fi
if test ${ac_cv_sys_large_files} != "no" ; then
    CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -D_LARGE_FILES=${ac_cv_sys_large_files}"
fi

Thanks,
Alex
