Hi,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we will see whether there would
be problem during the test build exprun.

In my opinion the whole _LARGE_FILE_SOURCE related concept are broken :(
We define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS as 64 since *BSDs have 64-bit off_t from the
day 0 we derived from 4.4BSD-Lite.  I am thinking about some better way
of representing these in a more portable way and hopefully I can work out
a better solution before zlib 1.2.5's release.

Take.  Do we have any packages known to broken with the new zlib?
(Debian uses newer zlib for their testing branch so maybe they have
some knowledge about this anyways)
