  Gnulib module: fstat
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms:
  MSVC 14.
  @item
  On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstat} may not correctly
  report the size of files or block devices larger than 2 GB.
  (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
  @item
  The @code{st_atime}, @code{st_ctime}, @code{st_mtime} fields are affected by
  the current time zone and by the DST flag of the current time zone on some
  platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 14 (when the environment variable @code{TZ} is set).
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  @xref{sys/stat.h}, for general portability problems with @code{struct stat}.
  @item
  On Cygwin, @code{fstat} applied to the file descriptors 0 and 1, returns
  different @code{st_ino} values, even if standard input and standard output
  are not redirected and refer to the same terminal.
  @end itemize
