The st_blksize and st_blocks fields of the stat(3type) structure were
both specified as 'long' integers in SUSv1.[1]  SUSv2 then changed them
to blksize_t(3type) and blkcnt_t(3type), respectively.[2]

 Old kernels and old standards did not support nanosecond timestamp fields.
 Instead, there were three timestamp fields
