No, using unimplemented features of the Unix module will never prevent
your program to compile nor link. The module signature is the same on
all platforms. However, it will probably raise an exception at runtime
(like Invalid_argument "foo not implemented").

Concerning lstat, it is a bit different, lstat is defined as:

 let lstat = stat

 > if Sys.os_type = "Win32" then stat else lstat

that's fine too, of course.
