Hello, Some pieces of code are still guarded by: #ifdef HAVEFSTAT ... #endif I would expect all systems to have fstat() these days. It's pretty basic POSIX, and even Windows has had it for ages. Shouldn't we simply make those code blocks unconditional? It would avoid having to maintain unused fallback paths.

I was sure I'd seen a post/bug report about this: http://bugs.python.org/issue12082

The OP was trying to build Python on an embedded platform without fstat().
