Meson: -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 should be disabled on some buggy 32-bit platforms

[nirbheek]

Foremost in this is 32-bit Android, which is broken in amazing ways.

MinGW64-W32 is rumoured to support it, however, so we should define it for that platform.

We should ideally implement this with a combination of platform detection, version detection, and compiling code with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and seeing what the size of the types being used is.

I can confirm this bug,
compiled c++ program which uses libnfc and libfreefare. On x86_64 linux works OK, on raspberry pi (armhf) values are lost when calling library functions. Until I removed -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 I got strange segfaults with wrong memory addresses, lost values send as parameter to function in library.

Was the Raspi executable compiled natively or with a cross compiler?

[SloCompTech]

natively

@SloCompTech What distro are you using on the raspberry pi, Raspbian? What libc are you using? Which raspberry pi version is this, so we know which armhf you're using.

@nirbheek I'm using version 6 of libc, bellow are prints of my linux distro version info
