coreutils-5.0: test failure on tail-2/big-4gb

I get the following test failure:

make[3]: Entering directory `/vol/resv/build/cu-build/tests/tail-2'
dd: advancing past 4294967288 bytes in output file `big': Invalid argument
../../../coreutils-5.0/tests/tail-2/big-4gb: failure in testing framework
FAIL: big-4gb

It looks like the problem is that the test assumes large files are
supported -- they are not on my system.  Like the "8gb" test it should
always be skipped on a non-lfs filesystem.

Note that "big-4gb" is an "expensive" test, so this is only noticable if
"RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes" is set.

Vitals:
i486-pc-linux-gnu
gcc 2.95.3
glibc 2.1.3
Linux 2.0.40-rc6
