You should be able to simplify your patch to:

Index: tools/cabman/cabinet.cxx
===================================================================
--- tools/cabman/cabinet.cxx	(revision 48297)

  #if !defined(WIN32)

+# include <sys/types.h>
  #endif
-#if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__APPLE__)
-# include <sys/stat.h>
-#endif // __FreeBSD__

Untested and mocked up, but you should get the idea :-)
Both added includes are part of the Open Group Base Specifications, so 
there should be no harm in including them on all modern Unix systems.

Cheers,
