Yeah, I was afraid of that. We could invent a typedef "pg_struct_stat"
that maps to the right thing, but using that everywhere would be a mighty
invasive change :-(. And we can't just "#define stat __stat64" because
that would break the calls to stat(). Or wait, maybe we could do that
and also have a one-liner function named __stat64 that would catch the
calls and redirect to _stat64?
