Do we need sys_open() et al (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE and open64())?

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll add a check for that first, it may well
cover some of the other odd systems at the same time. 

I'm hoping to merge this soon, so if anyone has a 32-bit system that is
both powerful enough to handle Samba's make test (I found out my laptop
isn't...) and odd enough not to have native 64-bit files, now would be a
good time to test.

Thanks,
