GNU findutils does have largefile support as of 4.1.5.  See
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2004-07/msg00012.html>. 
There is a configure test to see if off_t can represent a 64 bit value,
which should set the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS define correctly.

However, the timestamp on Cygwin's findutils package is 19-May-2002,
which was before Cygwin 1.5.0 was released (10-Jul-2003), which was the
first version to include 64bit file io support.  Thus it may just be
that findutils needs to be rebuilt with a recent cygwin1.dll to enable
this support in the code.  It may even be a good idea to refresh the
package to the current upstream which appears to be 4.2.9 at
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/findutils/>.
