It means that the cofigure script fails to detect the size of the typedefed
type called 'curl_off_t' which in your case equals 'off_t'.

If you check the config.log after the failure you should see the exact test
code that failed, and perhaps you can dig around to figure out why it
failed...

If you did that on an old curl version, it often happened due to it not being
able to use one of the libs it had previously detected it would need (due to
bad LD_LIBRARY_PATH or similar). Another reason to try a later version really.
