   <code>AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SENSITIVE</code>

  <h2>
   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    checker whether the current system is sensitive to -Ddefines making off_t
    having different types/sizes. Automatically define a config.h symbol
    LARGEFILE_SENSITIVE if that is the case, otherwise leave everything as is.
   </p>
   <p>
    This macro builds on top of AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to detect whether special
    options are neede to make the code use 64bit off_t - in many setups this
    will also make the code use 64bit off_t immediatly.
   </p>
   <p>
    The common use of a LARGEFILE_SENSITIVE config.h-define is to rename
    exported functions, usually adding a 64 to the original function name. Such
    renamings are only needed on systems being both (a) 32bit off_t by default
    and (b) implementing large.file extensions (as for unix98).
   </p>
   <p>
    a renaming section could look like this:
   </p>
   <pre>
 #if defined LARGEFILE_SENSITIVE &amp;&amp; _FILE_OFFSET_BITS+0 == 64
 #define zzip_open zzip_open64
 #define zzip_seek zzip_seek64
 #endif
</pre>
   <p>
    for libraries, it is best to take advantage of the prefix-config.h macro,
    otherwise you want to export a renamed LARGEFILE_SENSITIVE in an installed
    header file. -&gt; see AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H
