Summary 0004914: Large file support missing, however selected
Description Sometimes, my build failed with some cryptic errors like:
swapon.c:87: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'swapon'
swapon.c:87: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'path'
swapon.c:87: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'flags'
swapon.c:87: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of '_syscall2'
swapon.c:89: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'swapoff'
swapon.c:89: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'path'
swapon.c:89: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of '_syscall1'

A quick google turned up that this failure is caused by "Large File Support" not being checked. It seems that some dependency is not being checked by the menuconfig.

Anyhow, even with the LFS option checked, the build still fails sometimes! I cannot pinpoint the cause of this bug, but to fix it I need to enter the menuconfig once more, uncheck and recheck the LFS option, exit from the menuconfig, and answer "Yes" when menuconfig asks whether the configuration should be saved. After doing this, the build successfully continues.
