Summary: sizeof(struct stat) changes
Initial Comment:
Including Python.h changes sizeof(struct stat):
ralf@gandalf:~$ cat t.c
#ifdef USE_PYTHON
#include <Python.h>
#endif
#include <sys/stat.h>
main()
{
printf ("sizeof=%d\n", sizeof(struct stat));
}
ralf@gandalf:~$ gcc t.c -I/usr/include/python2.2
-DUSE_PYTHON && ./a.out
sizeof=96
ralf@gandalf:~$ gcc t.c && ./a.out
sizeof=88
ralf@gandalf:~$ uname -a
Linux gandalf 2.4.18 #3 Thu Feb 28 16:29:52 CET 2002
i686 unknown
rechecked with gcc-3.2 and current HEAD.

The problem is that Python is built with large file support.
I'm running RedHat and your example works the same for me.
It appears that _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE (_LARGEFILE_SOURCE on
my system) is defined in pyconfig.h. So __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
gets defined in /usr/include/features.h.
Python can be built without large file support, in which
case the size will not change.
Is this really a problem? Can it be solved by removing
large file support from python? Can you include
<sys/stat.h> before including Python.h to solve the problem?
