And remember: instead hardcoding this kind defines better use 
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE aclocal macro on autoconf level.

BTW autoconf:

$ ldd /usr/bin/mc
         libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x00002aaaaaacd000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x000000329eb00000)
         libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00002aaaaabd0000)
         libext2fs.so.2 => /lib64/libext2fs.so.2 (0x00000032a0b00000)
         libcom_err.so.2 => /lib64/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00000032a1a00000)
         libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libgpm.so.1 (0x00000032a1800000)
         libslang-utf8.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libslang-utf8.so.1 (0x000000329f300000)
         libnsl.so.1 => /lib64/libnsl.so.1 (0x00000032a4700000)
         ^^^^^^ this
         libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000000329e600000)
         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000329e400000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x000000329e900000)

Above is on:
$ uname -s
Linux

and mc is linked with libnsl only because in autoconf is incorrect 
detection is linking with libnsl is neccessary (fix for this in 
attachement which contains also fix for detection is linking with 
libsocket is also neccessary).
