Looks like there's something dodgy in sys/stat.h.  Perhaps you can
find where blksize_t is meant to come from.  I'd have expected it to
be either in types.h, or stat.h itself.  Perhaps the "stat" man page
says otherwise.

Either way, this test is part of autoconf, so a problem here probably
affects all gnu packages in one way or another, not just gmp.
