• The type pid_t is not defined on some platforms: MSVC 9.
• The type size_t is not defined in this file on some platforms: MSVC 9.
• The type ssize_t is not defined on some platforms: MSVC 9.
• The type mode_t is not defined on some platforms: MSVC 9.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• On some platforms the types blksize_t and suseconds_t are signed integer types that are wider than long: glibc x32

This module, together with the module largefile, also defines the type off_t to a 64-bit integer type on some platforms: mingw (except mingw64), MSVC 9.
