When I developed on HP systems for both 32-bit and 64-bit support of
Large Files at that time AC_SYS_LARGEFILE was the recommended way to
have autoconf automatically configure the compile environment to set
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS for both at configure time.
dnl This test must come as early as possible after the compiler
configuration
dnl tests, because the choice of the file model can (in principle) affect
dnl whether functions and headers are available, whether they work, etc.
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE
HTH!
