I did not find O_LARGEFILE in my man pages (Debian Woody,
libc6 v2.2.5).  However, I found the following under Feature
Test Macros in the libc info documentation:

 - Macro: _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
     This macro determines which file system interface shall be used,
     one replacing the other.  Whereas `_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE' makes the
     64 bit interface available as an additional interface,
     `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS' allows the 64 bit interface to replace the old
     interface.

Just for your information.
