It turns out that PERL is the only package

According to grep it's perl, cmake and libarchive that respect the
largefile feature.
Indeed, I missed them in my zeal :-( I new I was looking for something
that affected my problem, and perl was the key (I'm not using either
of the other packages)
If perl is known to break without largefile it's simple enough to make
it error when building if the feature isn't enabled, but to be honest
should we just remove this feature as it's so infrequently used?
I'd vote for at least fixing the perl recipe. The problem is insidious;
it only fails at runtime and then in mysterious ways... It also fails
on every architecture I tried (x86, ARM, PPC)
