This idea looks good to me.  But:

Surely the "static" should go?

Also, while we're on the subject of lstat, what operating systems
have the bug caught by AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK?
If they are sufficiently old, perhaps we can simply remove
the lstat module as well.  That would be nice.
