The spec file can use --enable-threads and --enable-largefile, just as it uses --enable-shared. The default for a source code compile will remain the same...

The spec file has been updated to include --enable-threads and --enable-largefile. Kai-Uwe: We can't change the defaults in the configure script because that breaks binary compatibility.
