I'm not good either. I first tried chaning mode_t to another fake type,
it resulted in the same error, so it let me think mode_t was not defined.
I tried to define a fake mode_t with :
typedef int mode_t;
but this resulted in another error about conflicting types, so I'm confused.

Anyway, including <sys/types.h> where mode_t is defined apparently fix the
problem, but I'm still confused.

I didn't know about that strmode function, I thought about just using
something like :
if (buf.st_mode != archive_entry_mode(entry))
  printf("%o != %o\n", buf.st_mode, archive_entry_mode(entry));
