Gnulib module: fstatat

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
glibc 2.3.6, Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8,
AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{fstatat} may
not correctly report the size of files or block devices larger than 2
GB.  (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
@item
On some platforms, @code{fstatat(fd,"file/",buf,flag)} succeeds instead of
failing with @code{ENOTDIR}.
Solaris 9.
@item
For symlinks, when the argument ends in a slash, some platforms don't
dereference the argument:
Solaris 9.
