Ah, if we want off_t to be 64 bits, then we need _LARGE_FILES.
The problem is, that scan.c includes unistd.h before postgres.h
and thus unistd.h defines _LARGE_FILE_API which is not allowed
together with _LARGE_FILES. Do you know an answer ?
Offhand I can only think of using -D_LARGE_FILES as a compiler flag :-(

Do we really want a general 64 bit off_t or would it be sufficient in the
two places that use fseeko ?
