After recompiling Vim with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, everything

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
I'm using gvim (currently 7.0.101 but soon I'll compile the
recently-published patches) and, without any compiler defines other than
those set by configure according to the configure flags shown on my
howto page http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
I'm currently editing a file with 1,118,641 lines and 33,705,005 bytes
of data (and growing). No probs with accessing the help in that same
instance of gvim. Of course there's still some margin between 33 Meg and
2 G.
I'm on SuSE Linux 9.3 with "gcc 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SuSE
Linux)" and glibc 2.3.4.
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is set on my gcc command-line without me having
done anything special to get it.
Best regards,
Tony.
