Thanks, I'll let you know about my findings.
As a start, I got all the headers from a NetBSD 4.0 with gcc installed.
After looking into those headers, I noticed the following:
a) There is no getfsstat(), but there is getvfsstat(), and its argument
is not 'struct statfs' but 'struct statvfs'.
b) getmntinfo() uses the 'struct statvfs' as getvfsstat() -- which is
odd, but on the other hand it is reasonable: they have the same struct
as POSIX describes, with additional fields (that's still good for POSIX).
Manpage for this:
http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?getmntinfo+3+NetBSD-4.0
"The getmntinfo() function first appeared in 4.4BSD. It was converted
from using getfsstat(2) to getvfsstat(2) in NetBSD 3.0."
c) The struct statvfs has the f_fstypename field that gnulib expect in
struct fsstat.
d) The previously known types are not exist: struct statfs, struct fsstat.
In order to test things, I'll install a NetBSD and (probably) a FreeBSD.
Despite I have ideas, I want to install these systems before
changing/suggesting anything.
