Eh, your mail looks very confusing but I'll try to extract the info and reply.
Why are your comments already quoted two levels?

I already made an attempt to fix the problem with QUIT being sent when
CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE occurs. It is included in 7.11.2. I added a test case that
verifies that my fix does at least what I wanted it to do.

So when you run configure, does it detect your curl_off_t to be 4 bytes only?
On my Solaris box configure claims curl_off_t is 8 bytes... See:

Right, it just proves that there's a discrepancy between the library and your
app. curl_off_t should have the same size in both.

curl_off_t is an off_t on all platforms that have off_t.

With gcc3 installed, configure says this:

checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64
checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no

Otherwise I guess the man pages 'lf64' and 'lfcompile64' are good starting
points to learn more about these issues on Solaris.
