    The large file support in configure tests for working file-locking.

    This may fail if you are building over NFS and the NFS locking isn't 
working.

    rsync doesn't actually use file-locking, so this test causes it to 
remove large-file support unnecessarily.

    A workaround might be to build on a local file system.
