They shouldn't need it.

This info may be wrong: take it with a grain of salt.

Unless I mis-understood the man pages on this, the only time you can
enable large-file support isn't in the kernel, it's in the filesystem
layout, specified in an option to the mkfs command. This means you can
only enable large-file support when you create the filesystem.

I *HOPE* somebody tells me I'm wrong on this btw, it seems to be a rather
brain-dead limitation. I'd love to know how it's done any other way.
