OK, thanks. Shall we include it in the set of default includes?
There is a bit of a slippery slope here. If one includes <sys/stat.h>,
why not <errno.h> as well? Or <limits.h> (protected by HAVE_LIMITS_H)?
I'm not sure what rule is being used for deciding what file is included
in the default list.
is there any reason not to use elif? Lemme bet, not KnR?
Some C compilers lack #elif. I don't recall which ones offhand. Here
are some relevant ChangeLog entries from GCC.

* config.guess: Fix typo. Avoid #elif (not in K&R 1).

* floatconv.c: Avoid using #elif, which some C compilers lack.
