Hi Brandon,

Thanks for the feedback. However, looking at sqlite3.c, I see the
necessary #include statements:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>

I'm confident that none of my code is making calls to stat/stat64 via
the FFI. In case it makes a difference, this problem also disappears
if I compile the library against the system copy of sqlite3 instead of
using the C source.
