Hi Jim,
Another module with an easy-to-fix compilation error on mingw is 'fts':
fts.c: In function `fts_build':
fts.c:942: error: `nlink_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
fts.c:942: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fts.c:942: error: for each function it appears in.)
fts.c:942: error: parse error before "nlinks"
fts.c:984: error: `nlinks' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[3]: *** [fts.o] Error 1
All that's missing is the type 'nlink_t'. The type of st_nlink in
'struct stat' on this system is 'short'. But for declaring variables,
'int' will work as well. I'm applying this fix; no objections, I suppose?

* m4/sys_stat_h.m4 (gl_HEADER_SYS_STAT_H): Also provided a substitute
for nlink_t if missing.
* tests/test-sys_stat.c: Check the existence of the nlink_t type.
