Well, code could fail for a couple of reasons. For exmaple, in the case of
proftpd, it declared, say, filesize with an unsigned long. On 32-bit
architectures, this is going to overflow (as opposed to off_t + largefile
support).

My assumption would be that if these defines are in the Makefile you
can (probably) assume that there is largefile support.
