my emerge --info

On x86 architecture axel fails to download large files (larger than 2Gb).
The output is:
user@localhost ~/Desktop/tmp/tmp $ axel -n10 -a http://bigfiles.bla/big.mkv
Initializing download: http://bigfiles.bla/big.mkv
File size: 2981592750 bytes
Opening output file big.mkv
Crappy filesystem/OS.. Working around. :-(

It's starts to download, but output file has size 2147483647 (2.0 G), and after download some part of file gives the write error.

If i compile axel without ebuild system - it's works fine. Possible bug is that 
ebuild contains next string:
emake CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" CC="$(tc-getCC)" || die "emake failed"

but, in axel's Makefile.settings declared next:
CFLAGS=-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -Os

wich has not been applied, while building with emerge.

P.S. Sorry for my english.
