PATCH 1/2 libimobiledevice: remove runtime configure check

configure.ac had a runtime check for large file support that got run on 64-bit architectures, and all runtime checks must go away to be cross-compile safe.

Luckily that runtime check was extraneous, so just remove it; standard AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro should be sufficient for figuring out proper settings to get large file support.

Also un-blacklist libimobiledevice, since this problem was the reason for the blacklist.

one difference is that now it will depend on --enable-largefile secondly, what does AC_SYS_LARGEFILE check do in the end ? is it a link time check ?

Not sure what you mean by 'now it will depend on --enable-largefile' since the handling of that flag isn't being changed. I didn't add AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro; it was already there. The recipe still doesn't need to set that flag... large file support should get enabled if the platform supports it.

AC_SYS_LARGEFILE does a compile-time check that off_t is large as expected, and if not it tries some defines (such as _FILE_OFFSET_BITS) to see if they can make off_t check pass. In the 64-bit Linux case, the first check passes, since no tinkering with extra defines is needed, but for 32-bit case _FILE_OFFSET_BITS will get defined.

There is another issue, probably triggered by switch to gcc-5, are you willing to fix it?

otherwise I'll blacklist it again in few days (it was reported in couple world builds already).
