Stat

[Reid Thompson]

download coreutils from the gnu ftp site
./configure   -- at first glance appears to configure with no errors
make          -- at first glance appears to build with no errors

cp stat.exe to /bin
or
make install ( will attempt to install the just built versions of all
coreutils executables -- this would likely NOT be recommended)
