Starting with some version of GLIBC, certain variants of the stat function are
no longer available for use.  This caused me problems a while ago when trying
to install RealPlayer.  I don't know if it's a GLIBC bug (since the functions
still exist in the .h files) or what, but I had to manually change one of the
files in the GLIBC source and recompile the whole thing to get the required
functions.
