If I configure and install httpd as normal, no CFLAGS, >2Gb downloads
don't work, and I get truncated results.

Doesn't seem to be that way on IA64, my sys/sendfile.h has:
/* Send up to COUNT bytes from file associated with IN_FD starting at
*OFFSET to descriptor OUT_FD. Set *OFFSET to the IN_FD's file position
following the read bytes. If OFFSET is a null pointer, use the normal
file position instead. Return the number of written bytes, or -1 in
case of error. */
#ifndef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
extern ssize_t sendfile (int __out_fd, int __in_fd, off_t *__offset,
size_t __count) __THROW;
#else
# ifdef __REDIRECT
extern ssize_t __REDIRECT (sendfile,
(int __out_fd, int __in_fd, __off64_t *__offset,
size_t __count) __THROW,
sendfile64);
# else
# define sendfile sendfile64
# endif
#endif
#ifdef __USE_LARGEFILE64
extern ssize_t sendfile64 (int __out_fd, int __in_fd, __off64_t *__offset,
size_t __count) __THROW;
#endif
I'll see what I can narrow it down to.
