(Get someone to) test...

Hm, either have "off_t G_file_size(FILE *fp, char *path)" that uses
G_fseek/G_ftell if fp != NULL, otherwise stat(), needs to be called
correctly, or have two functions like "off_t G_file_size_fp(FILE *fp)"
and "off_t G_file_size_name(char *path)" ? And you thought about a
version using file descriptor, something like "off_t
G_file_size_fd(int fd)".

Haven't you given the answer with

#if defined(__MINGW32__) && defined(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS) &&
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
/* other defines */
#define stat stat64
#define fstat fstat64
typedef struct _stati64 STRUCT_STAT;
#else
typedef struct stat STRUCT_STAT;
#endif

?

Additionally, we would need to make sure that stat() is only called on
not (yet) opened files, going through the code and verifying each
usage of stat().
