+       Rewrite largefile configuration so that we don't need to run
+       getconf and don't need AC_CANONICAL_HOST.  [I'm leaving the use of
+       AC_CANONICAL_HOST in configure.in -- jmm]
+
+       * largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_FLAGS,
+       AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_SPACE_APPEND): Remove.
+       (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES): New macro.
+       (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_MACRO_VALUE): Change arguments from
+       CODE-TO-SET-DEFAULT to VALUE, INCLUDES, FUNCTION-BODY.
+       All uses changed.
+       Instead of inspecting the output of getconf, try to compile the
+       test program without and with the macro definition.
+       (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Do not require AC_CANONICAL_HOST or check
+       for getconf.  Instead, check for the needed flags by compiling
+       test programs.

        * prereq.m4 (jm_PREREQ_HUMAN): Use []-quoted list in AC_CHECK_DECLS,
