Here's another suggestion: add a make variable that isn't used or anything else, has a default empty value, and is used to create the compilation command. Let's say $LARGEFILE.
This seems tolerable. We should probably look for getconf in the configure script, and make the default value the result of "getconf LFS_CFLAGS" if available. This seems like it would do "the right thing" more often without user intervention and is safe when getconf is not available. If LARGEFILE were set in the environment (by a command line such as you suggest), we'd just use that instead. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Zope Corporation
