If you want to emulate lstat, do this:

#define lstat stat

However, djgpp does *not* support symbolic links per se, and programs
that fail because lstat is missing will probably have other
portability issues as well.  You're better off reviewing the program
to find out *why* it needs lstat, to see if you can get away with the
#define above.
