I believe the correct define for GLIBC is:

 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

You could report a bug report to your vendor that they should compile
gnome-vfs with this define (We add this to a lot of packages, but
probably not gnome-vfs), and/or file a bug report against gnome-vfs
that it should do this automatically for the right systems. (Hopefully
there aren't systems that pay attention to _FILE_OFFSET_BITS but don't
work correctly with it set...)
