e984ec4948 [svn-r18710] Purpose:
Improve configure's large-file support control.

Description:

    Modified configure to now attempt to add defines necessary for
    supporting largefiles on all systems, instead of solely on linux. This 
    is in response to user requests to enable largefile support on Solaris 
    by default, as well as to give extra control on AIX (instead of just 
    jamming the necessary flag into the config files).

    The old --enable-linux-lfs flag is being deprecated in favor of the
    --enable-largefile flag (enabled by default), which can be used on all
    platforms. --disable-linux-lfs can still be used to disable largefile
    support (on linux) when the --enable-largefile flag is not specified.

    On systems where large files cannot be supported in this manner,
    configure will report as such.

Tested:

ee7791d61c [svn-r18530] Bug fix:
When gcc is used in the AIX platform, it failed to compile tconfig.c
because it does not recognize the __int64 type.  The ibm-aix has the
sizeof __int64=8 cached, as if all compilers supported this type.

Solution:
Removed the cached value for the sizeof __int64 so that during
configure, gcc can report it does not support it and not to use
it in the source code.

Tested:
NCSA Blue which is an AIX machine, using gcc or xlc compiler.
(The gcc still have failure but is being fixed as separated bugs.)

Port to AIX 6.1 for RS6000.  Should be the same as PowerPC based AIX.

Tested:
Blue-print of NCSA.
