Ulrich Drepper cff2b76009 [PATCH] fstatat64 support
The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline.  The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.

This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined.  I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear.  Other archs will continue to use the existing code.  On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function.  this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.

This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall).  Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode.  I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected).  It should be done by the arch
maintainers.  I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly.  Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).

The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.
