Here's another module I'm adding to coreutils. I plan to change coreutils to use it. Another possibility, I suppose, would be to fold it into AC_SYS_LARGEFILE.
Herb, can you please try out the effect of this module by appending "#define _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE 1" to lib/config.h after running 'configure'?
