We'll need a scenario for why we should make this a use flag. Right now, I just don't see any legitimate reasons for why one would not want largefile support.

'cause i can't compile xmms2 - it want to disable this.i think LFS is awesome but sometimes u have to decide urself if u want it...

Ahh... Well, on Gentoo we agreed long ago that we would use only largefile support, exactly for this reason.
Just pass -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE to your C(XX)FLAGS when compiling xmms2 or beat their devs over the head with a blunt object till enlightenment comes to them.
Closing as INVALID, this bug exists in xmms2, not in any portage program.
