Summary: GNU/Hurd doesn't have large file support

Initial Comment:
[extracted from http://bugs.debian.org/118189, 
submitted by James A Morrison 
<ja2morri@student.math.uwaterloo.ca>]

The configure script thinks GNU/Hurd has large file 
support but it doesn't.

Instead the check for Large File support should be 
checking to see if a program compiles with the symbol 
_LFS_LARGEFILE.

Is there a patch associated with this report? The Debian
report only has patches for threading, and I can't make
sense of the statement "compile with the symbol _LFS_LARGEFILE".

What is the actual problem of Python thinking that the Hurd
has LFS support? Does something not work?
