Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

  * On platforms where off_t is a 32-bit type, stat may not correctly report the size of files or block devices larger than 2 GB.  The fix is to use the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro.

  * Cygwin's stat function sometimes sets errno to EACCES when ENOENT would be more appropriate.
