That seems to not be the issue. It is just testing if lseeko() is declared already, without explicitly asking for -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE. The result on both kfreebsd and linux is that it is not needed to use -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE at all. So the linux arches already build option.c with -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, and most other sources without. I wonder what are the implications. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 has some effects on 32-bit arches, but not on 64-bit where relevant types are 64 bits long anyway.
