Samba has the following check:
# recent FreeBSD, NetBSD have creation timestamps called birthtime:
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_birthtimespec.tv_nsec])
AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_birthtime], AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_birthtimensec]))
and the supporting code around that. "birth" might also be
where the "b" comes from :-)
