 Well, let's make an attempt at understanding it. For grass 7, I suggest to
 remove the --enable-largefile configure option and issue a warning if LFS
 is not available. Global LFS for grass 7 is already there, for Linux and
 Mac. For wingrass, it's coming soon, but I will need some help.

 This reply belongs to a new thread, I'll open one.
