That worked fairly well. From http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=afio

All of these should have run an actual test using the new binary, so we now
know that the problem really is powerpc specific. All bug powerpc have
	-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
set.  I made a mistake, though, the test is only used in binary-indep, it was
not called in binary-arch. Darn. Next round.
