Sounds like includes are missing.  The Right Thing would be to fix up
the configure scripts and sources so it works properly with your
platform.  Instead, do the easy thing:

1) Check the man page for stat (man stat) and see what include files
   it wants.
   
2) Then edit Modules/posixmodule.c and make sure you #include
   all of them at the top of the file.  (Some will be there, and some
   won't, is my guess.)

3) Do the same for plock, lstat, and unsetenv.

Then try make again.

YMMV, as I don't use this platform.
