Alright, so how about:

- We add getosreldate and INO64_FIRST to druntime
- We add both the old and new struct definitions
- We add a stat wrapper which,when getosreldate() < INO64_FIRST, translates the
old struct to the new struct and returns it.

Sorry about the absence. Too many projects, this one happened to be pushed down the stack. I'm looking at this again.

Hi, I can take a look into this

Also, on FreeBSD 12 I could not build phobos or druntime with the most recent compiler, due to segfaults while compiling barrier.d.

I could however build both druntime and phobos with the one here[1].

I think these problems are related.

Is there a FreeBSD syscall that will give the version?

Looks like uname(3) does the trick:

File size can be determined by seeking to the end. That would be a simpler fix.

We don't seem to have a good solution for backwards compatibility, or anyone particularly interested in supporting it. So we should just update the structs, abandon the old FreeBSDs, and move on with the newer ones.
