Hi. My 2 cents about this: (well I'm only a noob)<br>
<br>
I had this problem; I don't know about other people's environment,
but my environment's problem was that it was actually not
POSIX-compliant: it didn't have other file functions as well, but
anyway the `fstat` error is the FIRST error you get when you compile
in such environments, so people as unaware as me think the problem
is with fstat only.<br>
<br>
Anyway I think if you are going to remove anything, you should think
in terms of POSIX-compliancy of the target system. Removing
HAVE_FSTAT might be fine (as user can easily write his own version
of the function and have it included into the python's sources), but
if you instead provide the user with the ability to use his custom
functions when POSIX one's aren't available, it would help make
python compile on even more platforms. Sorry if this last one was
off-topic.<br>
<br>
Best regards.<br>
