Under Haiku, those symbols are defined like this in sys/stat.h :

#define S_IUMSK 07777       /* user settable bits */

#define S_ISUID 04000       /* set user id on execution */
#define S_ISGID 02000       /* set group id on execution */

#define S_ISVTX 01000       /* save swapped text even after use (sticky 
bit) */

S_ISTXT is not declared and i have included S_IUMSK as i thought it might be related (but i have no knowledge in that area).
