Hey Peter,
   We add LARGEFILE_SUPPORT tags automatically from
configure for Solaris 2.7 or 2.8.  It seems that
for Linux, the idea is that if we define _GNU_SOURCE,
we should get _LARGEFILE_SOURCE64 and _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
automatically.  I found this info @:

http://www.redhat.com/devnet/whitepapers/solaris_port/x1609.html

   We can selectively add _GNU_SOURCE for all Linuxes
in configure, or we can add the specific LARGEFILE support
as we do for Solaris today.

   Suggestions required!

Carter
