Yeps, I consider that an intersting collision with POSIX which says the
function prototype looks like this:

  off_t lseek(int fildes, off_t offset, int whence);

and...

Yes it should, or you won't be able to use >2GB files. lib/curl_setup.h does
some magic defines based on the existence of that define. As you can see, the
lseek() use is then changed to _lseeki64() which probably at least changes
that warning!

Unfortunately, the cmake build system for libcurl is lagging behind and if you
use it, you need to be aware and be prepared to handle the consequences.

curl support large files on all systems that support it, as far as I know, but
it also builds and runs on several systems that don't support large files.

The test suite is very extensive but has never completely successfully been
made to run on Windows (unless during some specific circumstances).
