Thanks, I will check that.

Yes, it only affect glibc ... in face, I found these macro by tracing
Linux's <sys/stat.h>.
But I still think it's not a bad idea to make g_stat() to have the same behavior
as stat() on Linux.  So we just need to replace stat() by g_stat() and
it will work under Win32,
just like we can use g_fopen() to replace fopen().
