After recompiling Vim with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, everything
involving tags break, including the help system.  Typing :h,
or pressing ^] to jump to a tag, causes Vim to get caught in an
infinite loop.

Is there another way to get large file support that works?
There's no ./configure argument to enable it, so I just added
the above macro definition flag in CFLAGS.  The problem with
not having large file support is not that I need to edit files
larger than 2 GiB, but that ^X^F doesn't expand large files,
probably because stat() fails with EOVERFLOW.

By the way, this problem was encountered on the following system:

OS: Slackware Linux 10.2
Libc: 2.3.5
GCC: several versions: 3.3.6, 3.4.6, 4.1.1
Vim: several versions, including 7.0.0 and 7.0.101
