When I run link.com on OpenVMS Alpha v7.1, it creates the executables
without error, but the resulting unzip claims to have large file
support, which I believe is impossible before OpenVMS Alpha v7.2 because
the CRTL support is not there. Is there some trick that makes the
impossible possible, or is unzip lying about it capabilities?

When I build from source with /MACRO=LARGE=1, it throws an undefined
symbol warning on __OFF64_LSEEK, which is unsurprising, but makes me
wonder how Hunter managed to generate object code that thinks it has
large file support but doesn't (if that is indeed what is going on).
