Why is this part of the patch needed?  If the mountlist module
depends on the largefile module, AC_SYS_LARGEFILE is already
guaranteed to be invoked.  Please see, for example, my proposed
patch in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-07/msg00361.html>
and updated just now, which changes mountlist to depend on largefile,
but does not add the AC_REQUIRE (and in fact removes a couple of
AC_REQUIRE calls that are no longer needed, in mkstemp.m4 and
tempname.m4).
