If there is anything I should do
You can determine what the code that calls stat() is trying to do, and implement that with other primitives that your platform provides. For example, you can determine whether a file exists by trying to open it in read-only mode and checking the error. You can find whether a filesystem path names a directory by trying to chdir into it and checking the error. You can find the size of a regular file by opening it and seeking to the end. These substitutions would not be acceptable for a desktop system, but may be perfectly adequate for an embedded one that doesn't provide stat() in the first place. Either way, I expect that you will need to modify the sources.
Finally, are you 100% sure that your platform doesn't provide another API similar to stat()?
