The need for FILE_OFFSET_BITS and its many variations should be  
discovered by configure, and whatever is needed by a platform is set  
in config.h, so this setting here is redundant and possibly  
meaningless on some platforms.

(OSX doesn't need any of the macros set, and supports large files by  
default.)
