Hello Patrick,

That do the trick. Thanks.

I already tried to play with config.h but
by setting
#define HAVE_FALLOCATE 0
instead of removing the line !

I certainly crossed my eyes between
#if
and
#if defined !

Note that HAVE_SOMETHING directives can be considered requiring boolean
values  0/1 ... confusing.

Thanks for the help,
meanwhile the configure still not detect that the libc does not
allow fallocate64 and wrongly define HAVE_FALLOCATE ...
OTP team will certainly think it is not very important
as far old libc will vanish one day ...

Regards
