I think it rather identifies a bug that can/should be fixed.

configure first *detects* a long long present, which surely is 64 bit, but at
the same time it finds curl_off_t to be 4 bytes. That seems like a discrepancy
worth fixing for its own sake, but it should also avoid this configure error
check.

The curl_off_t type is determined in the curl/curl.h header but seeing this
output above, it seems to indicate that it needs adjustment for HPE NonStop.
