Thanks, but wouldn't the new part of your stat.c patch make it fail to
compile on Ultrix 4.4?  The code makes me think that ultrix-4.4 lacks
one of sys/mount.h and sys/param.h.  As such, it'd never include
the three headers it needs.

I wonder if it's worth jumping through hoops for an old system
like Ultrix 4.3 that so few people care about.

Would you please see if <stddef.h> works in place of <sys/types.h>
in those two files?

Building from CVS, I presume?
