[php-maint] Bug#359686: Can PHP be compiled with large file support?

[Pieter Ennes]

Package: php5
Version: all

I would like to suggest to enable large file support in PHP by default. 
This will avoid the logfile overflow problem that is described here:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36478

Information on the compile-time flags can be found here:

http://php.net/filesystem

Quote:
"No external libraries are needed to build this extension, but if you 
want PHP to support LFS (large files) on Linux, then you need to have a 
recent glibc and you need compile PHP with the following compiler flags: 
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64."
