rsync - Aug 2002 - Large File Support on AIX 4.3.3

I've been trying to get rsync to work on AIX 4.3.3 with files > 2GB.
I've looked through the archives and saw reference to this, etc. on HPUX but
have not been able to come across a solution for AIX. I've tried compiling
with the following flags without luck:

	"-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" 

There error I'm getting is as follows (when hitting the 2GB limit):

	rsync: error writing 32768 unbuffered bytes - exiting: Broken pipe
	rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463)

When I run ./configure I see these lines pertaining to large file support:

	checking for broken largefile support... no
	checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
	checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no
	checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... 1
	
My filesystems are large file enabled and fsize is set to -1 in
/etc/security/limits. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting this to work
on AIX 4.3.3? The rsync version is (2.5.5).

$ rsync
rsync  version 2.5.5  protocol version 26

              no IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums

Thanks,

Large file support on 2.5.5 is also not working for HP/UX 11.0.  I get the 
same error.. And rsync reports that 64 bit files are compiled in.

I've been having other issues with rsync under AIX. I'll post them later
after I finish testing.

The flags your looking for (got them from perl 5.6.1 and it worked with
proftpd) are:

-qlonglong -D_LARGE_FILES

How it helps.
