I have checked the size of struct stat using:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main()
{
	intptr_t offset0, offset_atime, offset_mtime, offset_ctime;
	struct stat t0;

	printf("sizeof stat=%ld\n", sizeof(struct stat));
	offset0 = (intptr_t) &t0;
	offset_atime = (intptr_t) &t0.st_atime;
	offset_mtime = (intptr_t) &t0.st_mtime;
	offset_ctime = (intptr_t) &t0.st_ctime;
	printf("offset st_atime=%ld\n", offset_atime - offset0);
	printf("offset st_mtime=%ld\n", offset_mtime - offset0);
	printf("offset st_ctime=%ld\n", offset_ctime - offset0);
	return 0;
}

In 32bit environment, the output is:
sizeof stat=96
offset st_atime=48
offset st_mtime=56
offset st_ctime=64

In 64bit environment, the output is:
sizeof stat=128
offset st_atime=48
offset st_mtime=64
offset st_ctime=80

It seems that the size of struct timespec is different.
