Hmm, that looks like platform breakage that you ought to report to
Slackware. We could probably make the configure test for posix_fadvise
a little tighter, but not having a largefile variant of it doesn't seem
like an expected situation.

Did you "make distclean" to be sure you had a clean start after changing
the largefile setting? I'm not sure what all that affects, but a build
that's only partially "largefile" would probably have some weird issues.
