The reason I submitted the test is because it's on the list of needed tests
(see "Contributing" on the gfortran Wiki) and I happen to be working on
large files on one of my current projects. The reason for the 2+ Gb is that
the need as stated.

Is there any way to make the tests conditional in the testsuite?

And I can easily make the test for a larger file size, and make it take less
time by using the test file over after the first creation, make the record
coverage sparser, etc. (the proposed test needs beefing up anyway).
