Thanks, I should have known that.  Good to remember for the future.

Okay, just to confirm:  The multiple-define warnings are just that,
annoying warnings.  I can safely ignore them.  True?

Also, if I care to eliminate the warnings, I can hand edit my
qmake.conf file to make the one-line change removing the
QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT define, following the patch you
posted the link to.  True?

(I understand that there are a bunch of qmake.conf files.  As
a practical matter I only need to edit the qmake.conf that
corresponds to the "-platform" I use for my build.)

Thanks for your help sorting this out.
