I think it's fine, at least for now.  The good news is that this
field is described in the Open Group's page for this type:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/stat.h.html
So I think we can count on it (although, I don't know enough about C
to know how much authority this has)

But, regardless, I think we can leave it be until such day where
we actually come across a system where the field actually does not
exist... When that happens, we can easily fix the build failure.
