If I understand correctly, that define changes ALL file system calls
in your program to use the 64 bits functions, e.g. fopen() will be
silently changed into fopen64(). I'm not sure what that means for
binary compatibility, but it hasn't caused any problems for me so far.
You may want to check if that define extends into the user's program
as well through allegro.h (even though I don't think it would have any
adverse effects). If you want to keep it allegro-only you can always
specify it as a -D option in the makefile.

Unix is user friendly. It's just very particular about who
it's friends are.
