I did it using mingw32. I don't remember what I did, but I probably tried
something stupid to test just the build of hostmem-file.o and didn't notice it
was conditional on CONFIG_LINUX. Sorry for the noise.

I have another question: if our block device code at raw-posix.c doesn't need
the Linux-specific BLKGETSIZE64 call, why exactly do we need it in
hostmem-file.c? In which cases it would break without BLKGETSIZE64?

If hostmem-file.c is Linux-specific we don't need to move or reuse the code for
all the other 9 platforms right now, that's true. But now you are adding a new
arch-specific function that does exactly the same thing in a different file to
the mix. What if somebody want to make hostmem-file.c work in another platform
in the future, and begin to duplicate the same #ifdef mess from raw-posix.c?

I was considering this:

1) Move the arch-independent raw_getlength() code to fd_getlength() (at
osdep.c, maybe?), as:

int64_t fd_getlength(int fd)
{
    int64_t size;

    size = lseek(s->fd, 0, SEEK_END);
    if (size < 0) {
        return -errno;
    }
    return size;
}


2) Change the arch-independent version of raw_getlength() to:

[...]
#else
static int64_t raw_getlength(BlockDriverState *bs)
{
    BDRVRawState *s = bs->opaque;
    int ret;
    int64_t size;

    ret = fd_open(bs);
    if (ret < 0) {
        return ret;
    }

    return fd_getlength(s->fd);
}
#endif


3) Implement get_file_size() using fd_getlength():

uint64_t get_file_size(const char *file, Error **errp)
{
    struct stat stat_buf;
    int64_t size = 0;
    int fd;

    fd = open(file, O_RDONLY);
    if (fd < 0) {
        error_setg_errno(errp, errno, "can't open file %s", file);
        return 0;
    }

    size = fd_getlength(fd);
    if (size < 0) {
        error_setg_errno(errp, -size, "can't get size of file %s", file);
        size = 0;
    }

exit:
    close(fd);
    return size;
}


4) In case BLKGETSIZE64 is really necesary, add a Linux-specific block to
fd_getlength():

int64_t fd_getlength(int fd)
{
    int64_t size;

#ifdef CONFIG_LINUX
    struct stat stat_buf;
    if (fstat(fd, &stat_buf) < 0) {
        return -errno;
    }

    if ((S_ISBLK(stat_buf.st_mode)) && !ioctl(fd, BLKGETSIZE64, &size)) {
        if (size < 0) {
            return -EOVERFLOW;
        }
        return size;
    }
#endif

    size = lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
    if (size < 0) {
        return -errno;
    }

    return size;
}

People working on other platforms will be able to move arch-specific code to
fd_getlength() later, if they want to.
