32-bit platforms that will not be used after the year 2038,
you can use the @samp{year2038} module instead.
+If the Gnulib module @samp{largefile} is used but neither
+@samp{year2038} nor @samp{year2038-required} is used,
+@command{configure} will have an option @option{--enable-year2038}
+that causes @code{configure} to behave as if @samp{year2038} was used.
+This is for packages that have long used @samp{largefile} but have not
+gotten around to upgrading their Gnulib module list to include
+@samp{year2038} or @samp{year2038-required}.
