Works for me, but I also had to change this:

diff --git a/config.h.cmake b/config.h.cmake
index c3b30db..a8a0c46 100644
--- a/config.h.cmake
+++ b/config.h.cmake
@@ -222,7 +222,7 @@
 #endif
 
 /* Number of bits in a file offset, on hosts where this is settable. */
-/* #undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS */
+#cmakedefine _FILE_OFFSET_BITS @_FILE_OFFSET_BITS@
 
 /* Define to 1 to make fseeko visible on some hosts (e.g. glibc 2.2). */
 /* #undef _LARGEFILE_SOURCE */

Tested on my laptop (Linux/x86 32 bit).
I'll test on MacOS/ppc64 when I get back home.
