Right. But if you do e.g.:

	touch lib/gis/opencell.c
	make -C lib/gis

does the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 switch appear in the output?

This isn't good:

This implies that most of the library was built without LFS. If I run
the above command here, the corresponding entries are:

         U __lxstat64
         U __xstat64
         U creat64
         U fopen64
         U freopen64
         U lseek64
         U open64
         U readdir64

One possibility is that GRASS was initially built without LFS, then
configure was re-run with --enable-largefile and GRASS was built
without first performing "make clean". This would result in most of
the files not be re-compiled.

I suggest removing both the installed version of GRASS and the source
tree, then compiling from scratch (run make with e.g.
"make &> build.log" to capture all of the output).

After compiling, check the output from "nm ... libgrass_gis.so" and
ensure that all of the above symbols have the "64" suffix. If they
don't, send me the complete make output off-list (compress it first,
as it's likely to be around 3MB uncompressed vs 120KB compressed).
