Hi,

i'm pretty confused by this code (culrbuild.h). First, it wants
CURL_TYPEOF_CURL_OFF_T to be undefined:

#ifdef CURL_TYPEOF_CURL_OFF_T
# error "CURL_TYPEOF_CURL_OFF_T shall not be defined except in curlbuild.h"
   Error Compilation_aborted_CURL_TYPEOF_CURL_OFF_T_already_defined
#endif

then, it uses CURL_TYPEOF_CURL_OFF_T to create a typedef:

/* Data type definition of curl_off_t. */
typedef CURL_TYPEOF_CURL_OFF_T curl_off_t;

While, of course, CURL_TYPEOF_CURL_OFF_T isn't defined, as checked
previously in this file.
How can it be ?

Andrey
