+dnl On some systems AC_SYS_LARGEFILE determines that -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
+dnl isn't required, but the CFLAGS for some of the libraries we're using
+dnl include the define.  Since the define changes the size of some datatypes
+dnl (e.g. ino_t and off_t), all of Vim's modules must be compiled with a
+dnl consistent value.  It's therefore safest to force the use of the define
+dnl if it's present in any of the *_CFLAGS variables.

 dnl link.sh tries to avoid overlinking in a hackish way.
 dnl At least GNU ld supports --as-needed which provides the same functionality
 dnl at linker level. Let's use it.
