Marcus, please make it fail more gracefully.

Why "make it fail"; why not "make it run"?
I guess (did not test) that the bug can be fixed by replacing

#if @NEED__FILE_OFFSET_BITS@

with

#if @NEED__FILE_OFFSET_BITS@ - 0

or by making configure always setting a nonempty value;
depending on your preferred style of programming.

Thanks in advance :-)
