I am now getting (on HPUX 10.20)

/usr/include/sys/resource.h: In function `getrlimit':
/usr/include/sys/resource.h:168: warning: implicit declaration of function `__getrlimit64'
/usr/include/sys/resource.h: In function `setrlimit':
/usr/include/sys/resource.h:170: warning: implicit declaration of function `__setrlimit64'

for essentially every file in the system. A little digging shows that
this is happening because _FILE64 is defined and _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
is not; this is evidently a Bad Idea on HPUX.

Further digging shows that noplace in the standard headers is
_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE #define'd, so evidently one is supposed to supply it
from user headers. Ugh. Please add this to the list of
platform-specific symbols that had better be turned on to support large
files.

regards, tom lane
