Comment(by gdt):

 Please keep in mind that _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is nonportable; it isn't used
 on BSDs, where off_t is simply always int64_t.  But using off_t and lseeko
 instead of long seems entirely sensible.  So probably the
 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 needs to be wrapped in a configure test to be added
 only on operating systems where it makes sense.
