The related code is

#if defined(HAVE_INTTYPES_H) && defined(SIZEOF_OFF_T)
#if (SIZEOF_OFF_T == 8) && defined(PRId64)

#define PRI_off_t       PRId64
#define SCN_off_t       SCNd64
#define CAST_off_t(n)   (int64_t)(n)

#elif (SIZEOF_OFF_T == 4) && defined(PRId32)

etc.

I may need more information - that's based on a check that I haven't done
much with, recently.  So it would be broken by some indirect change, such
as the checking for search-path of headers and libraries.  There's a fix
for a check in _that_ here:

ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/lynx2.8.8dev.3d.patch.gz

(along with some in-progress improvements to form-printing...)
