Thanks for the report. However, this is lacking too many details for us
to know what to do about it. What system is this on? Can you provide a
sample configure.ac that demonstrates that the problem is in autoconf, as
opposed to a particular package's improper use of the AC_FUNC_FSEEKO
macro? After all, AC_FUNC_FSEEKO (which is documented as detecting
ftello) sets _LARGEFILE_SOURCE on platforms where it is needed.
