That would be MacOS? Which version? Hope I can find some clues in public headers. Maintaining compat with obscure proprietary systems is hard guesswork :\ Aldernately, can you locate and experiment how tge file modification time field is called in `struct stat`, if present?

Thanks for the nudge, I managed to get a MacOS build environment (on CircleCI) willing to build NUT, so iterated some more attempts to see and fix (or quickly hide) some more platform-specific issues which issued warnings and CI is set to treat those as fatal. Will post a PR soon-ish when that job finally passes :)

Thanks @jimklimov!
