Summary: struct stat binary incompatibility

Initial Comment:
after some tedious debugging of a ported program, i
found that in the struct stat defined in sys/stat.h,
there might be binary incompatibility with that of
microsoft's msvcrt. I haven't yet the time to find out
which structure element is messed up, or if at all.

the symptom that i experienced is that i'm unable to
obtain file size by referring to the stat.st_size
element. it returns some garbage instead.

i'm using cygwin's gcc ... though ...

after few hours of mingling with gdb and stuff, i'm
dizzy enough, and i should wrap up here ....
