No, but $GSDLHOME/src/mgpp/lib/sysfuncs.h contains checks and
workarounds for portability, based on the older mg code (which was based
on some stuff from GNU tar from 1994). A lot of it is a bit unnecessary
now since a lot of unix stuff has been standardised.

According to the manpage for "lstat", some other header files need to be
included first. Try replacing line 28 of sysfuncs.h (the #include
"sys/stat.h" line) with the following 3 lines:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>

Alternately, you could try completely replacing the file with an empty
file, since a lot of the file is for windows portability...
