This defines "struct stat64", which the preprocessor replaces with
"struct stat". If that's not working it's because the source file is
doing something bogus (like #undef stat64, perhaps).

In any case, just fixing the source to use "stat" instead of "stat64"
(and likewise for any other *64 mess) is the best approach.
