Sure, might as well.
Do they support st_birthtime with only a 1-second resolution, or
is it really a nanosecond resolution in the header?

That would be easiest to implement, I guess. It doesn't make much
sense to have a substitute value on platforms where st_birthtime was
not available, so the caller would need to decide what to do.
