Hi!

> I noticed, trying to configure ptxdist under FreeBSD (ptxdist.org), that stat (gstat) was missing in sysutils/coreutils.

Because FreeBSD has its own gstat command (doing something different),
the port has gnustat for GNU stat. So the configure script
needs to check for gnustat, maybe this solves your problem?
