This function is missing on some platforms:
-glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX
+glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX
5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.

On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), @code{st_ino} is always 0.

+On some file systems, @code{st_size} contains bogus information for
+symlinks; use the gnulib module areadlink-with-size for a better way
+to get symlink contents.
