 Gnulib module: stat
 
 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

-Solaris 9.
+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.

 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.
+@xref{sys/stat.h}, for general portability problems with @code{struct stat}.
 @item
 Cygwin's @code{stat} function sometimes sets @code{errno} to @code{EACCES} when
 @code{ENOENT} would be more appropriate.
 @item
-On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), @code{st_ino} is always 0.
-@item
 Because of the definition of @code{struct stat}, it is not possible to
 portably replace @code{stat} via an object-like macro.  Therefore,
 expressions such as @code{(islnk ? lstat : stat) (name, buf)} are not
