Another option would be to leave int64_t defined as it is, but set HAVE_INT64_T
to 0, to indicate that gnulib shouldn't use it.

But first, Matthew Woehlke should show enough info for analysis of possible
workarounds:
  - the relevant parts of sys/stat.h including all surrounding #ifs,
  - what is the original definition of int64_t on this OS if gnulib is not
    involved? (a macro, a typedef?)
Just copy&pasting a compiler's error message is not useful enough.
