This should be ok.
This is saying that in order to enable 64-bit addressable ("large")
files, there is no special compiler option, but setting
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 enables this functionality.
This then causes the build process to use the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS option
to enable support for large files.
You don't need to do this, the build/configure process has done it for you.
This is like saying I need to get to the library:
checking if I have a car... no
checking if I have a bicycle... yes
Wine understands and supports both methods and will use whichever one
is available to add that support, or disable the functionality if it
cannot.
Does this make sense?
