Two commits in the php4 tree today for this: one to enable LFS in the build
and change the ABI to match, and one to re-add a patch that fixes up a known
LFS problem with the zlib headers.

Oh, and last time we tried to do something sensible in the Debian build
instead of following upstream's lead, we got yelled at for breaking binary
compatibility and rendering all third-party binary modules unusable.  Do
people think that's a killer issue now as well?  I couldn't care less about
it, but you guys may consider that a significant use case that justifies
living with the 2GB limit.  (Hmm... and if we're breaking stuff, should we
turn ZTS back on too? ;)

Cheers,
