It would appear that globbing and file redirection are failing, which is
a pretty sure sign that large file support is not working properly with
the 64-bit Forte compiler.  Can you figure out what we need to be passing
as a compiler argument that we aren't, or whatever?

So far all I've been able to track down is that the "zsh: bad address"
message is being generated at the pid = fork() line of zfork(), which
makes very little sense to me.

LFS64_CFLAGS:                   -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
LFS_CFLAGS:                     -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

By replacing the latter with the former, the test output is identical
with the exception of the timestamps.

} Could we just skip LFS detection on this system?

Probably, if we can identify it accurately, as LFS is only half-supported
on that version of the OS anyway.

That solution is not going to work for Sol 2.8 with Forte, though, as LFS
is supposedly fully enabled (by the OS, I mean) there.
