dnl =========  Large File Support ==============
dnl By default, many hosts won't let programs access large files;
dnl one must use special compiler options to get large-file access to work.
dnl For more details about this brain damage please see:

dnl Modified by Kern Sibbald to turn on the large file
dnl   flags on all machines. Otherwise functions such as
dnl   fseek are not large file capable.
