and again LARGEFILE_SOURCE is completely independent of
compiling 32 bit a.out mode vs 64 bit a.out mode

for example, cc [-n32 | -64] on sgi mips
-n32 generate 32-bit objects and run on the 32 and 64 bit cpus
-64 generates 64-bit objects and run on 64 bit cpus only
32-bit objects have a long long type and handle 64 bit timestamps
when compiled with LARGEFILE_SOURCE
