If you compile with --disable-largefile, you typically get two
different definitions:
- one comes from obsdcompat, which automatically detects systems with LFS
- one comes from web2c, which doesn't detect LFS

This is why the pdftex build script has --disable-largefile.

What's needed to fix this mess is to enable web2c to detect LFS. This
needs changes to the configure/autofoo ...
