Hi. My 2 cents about this: (well I'm only a noob)
I had this problem; I don't know about other people's environment, but
my environment's problem was that it was actually not POSIX-compliant:
it didn't have other file functions as well, but anyway the `fstat`
error is the FIRST error you get

Hello,
Some pieces of code are still guarded by:
#ifdef HAVE_FSTAT
...
#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

Fake values would probably cause hard to debug problems. It's a long standing
Python tradition not to offer low level APIs that the platform doesn't have.

I meant the platform, not Python.

I've had a quick look with grep -R HAVE_ * | egrep '[.]c:'.
Modules/posixmodule.c has HAVE_UTIME_H and it might be standard libc on all
posix platforms.
Objects/obmalloc.c has HAVE_MMAP… but I guess that's fine given other platforms
might not have such facility.
Depending on the granularity

Are there other guards for similarly common libc functions? If so,
perhaps each one should be removed in a series of change sets, one per
guard.

I don't think so. Someone should take a look though :-)
