Something like this maybe (before AC_SYS_LARGEFILE):

case $host_os in hpuxZYX*)
if test "${enable_largefile+set}" != set; then
enable_largefile=no
fi
esac

I found an HP whitepaper on the large file support and it seems they don't
have the problem of missing declarations.

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/os/lgfiles4.pdf

Note the example in section 6.4.1. On page 37 they grep the preprocessed
source and somehow manage to get a declaration of __lseek64() in there.
Maybe it's a later OS release.
