32-bit UNIX/Linux applications must be compiled with 64-bit file offset:
  ./configure CPPFLAGS='-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'

Downside: your index file is up to twice as large as a 32-bit index.
Upside: your index file isn't truncated at 2 GB.

Linux ext2/3 in its lowest configuration supports 16 GB files and 2 TB
