Synopsis: [libc] stat(2) doesn't work in 32bit mode on amd64

State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended
State-Changed-By: kib
State-Changed-When: Tue Jan 24 12:12:45 UTC 2012
State-Changed-Why: 
cc -m32 does not work for many reasons. One is the machine/ includes
being for the wrong architecture (amd64, while -m32 implies i386).
Another is that many system types are not ABI-invariant. In case
of struct stat, at least struct timespec uses longs.

Since changes are intrusive and nobody works on the issue right now,
postpone the PR.
