Don't get confused by the test on __GO32__ and the comment. What the
code is really doing is this:
if (stat (archive_filename, &sbuf) != 0)
{
if (errno != ENOENT)
bfd_fatal (archive_filename);
}
That looks reasonable and correct to me.

Why is stat returning a non-zero value with errno set to zero?
