Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
-On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{stat} may not correctly
-report the size of files or block devices larger than 2 GB. The fix is to
-use the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE} macro.

On Cygwin, @code{fstat} applied to the file descriptors 0 and 1, returns
different @code{st_ino} values, even if standard input and standard output
are not redirected and refer to the same terminal.
