Are you really running on a 32-bit platform and not a 64-bit platform?
Unless you're using really old hardware or you have been continuously
upgrading the same system for a long time, this is fairly unlikely.
The large file support only matters on 32-bit platforms.
Unfortunately, if you *are* on a 32-bit platform and built without large
file support, you'll generally need to rebuild all of history and
overview. off_t is embedded in a lot of stuff.
