Comment (by 0booo5b02 at sneakemail.com):

 I've been having a look and these are my conclusions:

  * {{{HAS_LARGEFILE}}} is not defined no matter what options are given to
 configure (on OS X)
  * There is no need for all the {{{O_LARGEFILE}}} juggling in the source.
 A regular open is sufficient (I tried this experimentally and it worked)
  * The code dealing with these issues is a mess

 Given all the previous points this is a bug from the upstream program.

 What I propose is this:

 I will make a patch that FAPP sets {{{HAS_LARGEFILE}}} but all open calls
 will be made without {{{O_LARGEFILE}}}).
 This will result in the {{{-l}}} being available but only really working
 on systems in which large file support doesn't depend on special options
 on open. On systems where that does happen a run time error will probably
 occur.

 I don't know in what systems this port will be compiled so the previous
 solution might break on some.

 Unless someone objects I'll write this patch to the source-code and attach
 it here.

 This project could really use something like autotools.
