Hi,

# uname -a
Darwin SciFiG5.homeip.net 8.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.0: Fri Sep  8

powerpc PowerMac7,3 Darwin

Using CUPS SVN-r6307 as I write this, but it's been doing this for many
many months it seems.

I have --enable-largefile in my configure parms.  The configure script has
been giving errors for the largefile tests, "unary operator expected". 
Turns out the vars being tested are empty or undefined, since OSX/Darwin
has such support already built-in AIU.

Just to get around this, I whipped up a patch:

We still don't get the extra -D's for OSX/Darwin (only the first ones, do
we need the others?), but it keeps configure from complaining.  ;)

fwiw I've been staying current with self-built GNU coreutils-6.7,
make-3.81, automake-1.10, autoconf-2.61a, and tons of other libs (usually
installed in /usr/local and overriding Apple's provided tools via PATH
etc.).  Yes I run "make distclean" and "autoconf -f" after every "svn
update".  ;)

Thanks.
