Hello,
 After adding few modules to gnulib the gnutls-guile library had few
failures in testsuite in some arm and mips systems. After some
investigation[0] it seems that the issue was that the new gnulib modules
were depending on largefile module which defines a 64-bit off_t even on
32-bit systems. Why adding getpass or fseek gnulib modules would enable
largefile by default? Wouldn't it be better to add an option to enable
it only in systems where it is desirable?

regards,
Nikos
