+       largefile: port better to Mac OS X 10.5
+       This patch is backported from Autoconf git.
+       * m4/largefile.m4 (AC_SYS_LARGEFILE): Use AC_DEFINE, not
+       AH_VERBATIM, to define _DARWIN_USE_64_BIT_INODE, to avoid problems
+       with ino_t size being different for configuration time versus
+       build/run time.  Problem reported by PHO in
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2013-01/msg00040.html>.
