Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
mingw, MSVC 9.
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, this function is not
applicable to arbitrary lengths for files larger than 2 GB.  The fix is to
use the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE} macro.
