Comment:
This is similar to a recent NetBSD 1.4.2 problem (cf: http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=112289&group_id=5470)

The problem:
  NetBSD 1.4.2 and now I think BeOS pass the configure test for HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT but neither defines either fseeko() or fseek64() as required by the Single Unix Specification. That sucks.

Question:
  What is this _fseek() in youy patch? This is a BeOS specific thing (sigh) I presume? Does it support large files, or pretend to? You can tell by the type of the second argument (the offset). If it is 'off_t' then it presumes to support largefiles. If it is 'long' then it does not. How is _fseek() different from fseek() on BeOS?

Right Answer (tm):
  If this _fseek() does *not* support largefiles then I *think* the right answer is to change the HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUUPORT test such that it is *false* for NetBSD 1.4.2 and BeOS.

I don't have the time (or a box to test this on) to try to get the right answer, though. So fat lot of good this comment is.

It might be preferable to copy the NetBSD/OpenBSD patch (search NetBSD in the same file). Add __BEOS__. Does that work then?
