[gentoo-user] rcp and very large files

How do I compile RCP with support for very large files? I have an Intel P4, with a Gentoo 2004.3 and with a 2.4.28-gentoo-r8 kernel compiled with support for large files. When I use rcp to transfer a large file (3 GB) on a different machine I get a file too large. However, I can scp exactly the
