This avoids incorporating the following, which I suspect are
more trouble for Emacs than they’re worth:
2017-04-29 stat, fstat: fix time_t etc. on native Windows platforms
* admin/merge-gnulib (AVOIDED_MODULES): Avoid stat, too.
* lib/gnulib.mk.in, m4/gnulib-comp.m4: Regenerate.
* lib/pathmax.h, lib/stat.c, m4/pathmax.m4, m4/stat.m4: Remove.
Bug reported by Chong Yidong for SunOS 5.10 Generic_127111-11 sparc.
I cannot reproduce it on SunOS 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sparc but
possibly this is because Sun fixed the 'stat' bug in my version.
* Makefile.in (GNULIB_TOOL_FLAGS): Do not avoid the pathmax module.
* lib/pathmax.h, m4/pathmax.m4: New files, from gnulib.
* lib/gnulib.mk, m4/gl-comp.m4: Regenerate.
These changes are based on gnulib version
4f11d6bebc3098c64ffde27079ab0d0cecfd0cdc dated 2011-10-07 20:59:10,
because Emacs is in feature freeze and we do not want to merge any
more-recent changes from gnulib.
