Why?

Please remember that largefile doesn't just mean files bigger than 4GiB,
it enables more than just sizeof(off_t)==8, it is also required to
access data on huge filesystems (that right now are not enabled to be
generated by anything, but still).

I don't think at all that largefile should be an option; if something
has trouble working with largefile it should be fixed, not conditioned.
