Summary: Compiler warning on Solaris 8

Initial Comment:
When compiling Python 2.2 on Solaris 8 there are complaints about _FILE_OFFSET_BITS being redefined.

The following is a patch to configure.in to remedy this.

The point of the patch is that on Solaris 8 there is a file that already defines this and if configure does not notice this then
both pyconfig.h and the OS file sys/feature_test.h define it and 
when building a program with Python embedded in it you get a
lot of warnings.

The patch is clearly incorrect; Python *must* define 
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS. What specific problem does that 
patch fix?

Neal, is this something you know about?
