I just did not realize that it already has that defined.

Why? Since those declarations are not used anyway, what's the point in
defining them in the first place?

Furthermore, this define actually does not guard declarations of any
structures, but only guards declarations of the functions:

_wstat
_wstat32
_wstat64
_wstat32i64
_wstat64i32

IMO, since none of those functions is used in Emacs' code base, we're
already set.
