... snip ...
i mentioned this only because the current features.h header file
mentions this macro near the top in the documentatiin:
...
_LARGEFILE_SOURCE Some more functions for correct standard I/O.
_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE Additional functionality from LFS for large files.
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=N Select default filesystem interface.
...
but the man page for "feature_test_macros" says nothing about it. just
an observation.
