I have this line in the SPECfile of 'mariadb' package:

CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE"

Git blame says this line will soon celebrate 20 years:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql/c/b3810a49b3125662999f444810efd0fd3223612b?branch=rawhide
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql/c/45466935f338593601cf8653b582dce92752152f?branch=rawhide

As I'm not very good at baking cakes, I'm researching the possibility
of removing the line instead.

I read through these macros explanations:
  https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Feature-Test-Macros.html
however as I do not navigate well in the problematic, I haven't understood much.

My question is primarily, whether during the last 20 years something
happened, making the line obsolete (e.g. these macros are no longer
relevant, or they were added to the default build flags, ... )
