Even in Linux architectures (amd64 and armhf for example) Perl
advertises -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE as a necessary compiler flag:

$ perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts
 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBIAN -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
-I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.20/CORE 

According to feature_test_macros(7) it should not be necessary and is
now discouraged;  but it reads like _LARGEFILE_SOURCE should be defined
by default anyway.  Maybe that is the issue we have on kfreebsd-i386.
