The configure script should usually detect this by itself - just check the
output of configure or see config.h/config.log. On my Linux box,
config.log shows the following lines:

configure:9788: checking for CFLAGS value to request large file support
configure:9858: result: -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
configure:9860: checking for LDFLAGS value to request large file support
configure:9874: result:
configure:9876: checking for LIBS value to request large file support
configure:9890: result:
configure:9936: checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
configure:9965: result: 64

The -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 line is the important one (LFS is enabled).

Have a look at Andreas Jaegers very helpful LFS on Linux info page:
http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html
