+dnl  Added the following configure option in January 2008 following
+dnl  investigation of problems with "64" system and library calls on
+dnl  Darwin (MacOS X).  The libguile code (_scm.h) assumes that if a
+dnl  system has stat64, it will have all the other 64 APIs too; but on
+dnl  Darwin, stat64 is there but other APIs are missing.
+dnl 
+dnl  It also appears, from the Darwin docs, that most system call APIs
+dnl  there (i.e. the traditional ones _without_ "64" in their names) have
+dnl  been 64-bit-capable for a long time now, so it isn't necessary to
+dnl  use "64" versions anyway.  For example, Darwin's off_t is 64-bit.
+dnl 
+dnl  A similar problem has been reported for HP-UX:
+dnl  http://www.nabble.com/Building-guile-1.8.2-on-hpux-td13106681.html
+dnl 
+dnl  Therefore, and also because a Guile without LARGEFILE64 support is
+dnl  better than no Guile at all, we provide this option to suppress
+dnl  trying to use "64" calls.
+dnl 
+dnl  It may be that for some 64-bit function on Darwin/HP-UX we do need
+dnl  to use a "64" call, and hence that by using --without-64-calls we're
+dnl  missing out on that.  If so, someone can work on that in the future.
+dnl  For now, --without-64-calls allows Guile to build on OSs where it
+dnl  wasn't building before.
