You cannot do that kind of things anyhow, because the host off64_t
(which will be used when the front-end is compiled) might not have the
same size as the target off64_t (which will be used for the library). On
that topic, you can e.g. read the thread that lead to
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2005-12/msg00136.html According to Richard
Henderson, that problem is solvable
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2005-12/msg00142.html), but I'm not sure
if he's in possession of a constructive proof of existence ;-)
One possibility it to define a gfc_large_int to be integer(kind=8) if it
exists, and integer(kind=4) otherwise (and do the same in the library).
