failure to implement O_LARGEFILES

[Tony Arnold]

Kayven,

remove the back quotes around the definitions of

LARGEFILE_FLAG = `-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64`
GNU_SOURCE_FLAG = `-D_GNU_SOURCE`

Back quotes causes the enclosed string to be run by bash which is not
what you want.

Regards,
Tony.
