[RndTbl] Maximum file size?

[John Lange]

Thank you Michael.

A posting I found from May 2003 indicates that applications need to be
compiled with LFS API support for files larger than 2G.

"Using the LFS API is pretty straightforward; it can be as simple as
adding -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE to the C compiler
options and recompiling."

So I assume this is:
CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE" ./configure

Does anyone know if this tip also applies when compiling the kernel
itself or just to applications?

Is there a way to set this as a default option for all compiles so that
I don't have to remember every time I compile something?

And finally, is there a way to see if a binary has been compiled with
LFS? Something like "ldd" perhaps?

Thanks,

John
