test failure when building gnutls-2.12.14 for ARM

[David A. Marlin]

When building gnutls-2.12.14 on Fedora rawhide for ARM.

Using versions:
 gcc-4.7.0
 glibc-2.15
 guile-1.8.8

three tests fail during 'make check':

-------------------------------------


This appears to be caused by a difference in the size of off_t in the 
following structure:

/usr/include/libguile/ports.h
-------------------------------------

typedef struct
{
 SCM port;
 long int entry;
 int revealed;
 scm_t_bits stream;
 SCM file_name;
 long int line_number;
 int column_number;
 unsigned char *read_buf;
 const unsigned char *read_pos;
 unsigned char *read_end;
 off_t read_buf_size;
 unsigned char *saved_read_buf;
 const unsigned char *saved_read_pos;
 unsigned char *saved_read_end;
 off_t saved_read_buf_size;
 unsigned char *write_buf;
 unsigned char *write_pos;
 unsigned char *write_end;
 off_t write_buf_size;
 unsigned char shortbuf;
 int rw_random;
 scm_t_port_rw_active rw_active;
 unsigned char *putback_buf;
 size_t putback_buf_size;
} scm_t_port;
-------------------------------------

In gnutls off_t is 'long long int', but in guile off_t is 'long int'.
This is because gnutls has:

 #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64

and guile has no such definition.

By building guile with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, the gnutls test completed 
successfully.  Conversely, using the original guile build and rebuilding 
gnutls with '--disable-largefile' in the configure command also allows 
the gnutls test completed successfully.

Please let me know the correct solution to this issue, of if you need 
any additional information.


Thank you,
