I'm not sure how to solve this problem non-invasively. One way to deal
with it would be to include the instructions to install stat(1) if needed
in UPDATING, but then if the upgrade fails for whatever reason, the user
would be left with a bogus 5.x stat(1) binary on their system. However,
if someone wants to include that step in UPDATING, I have no objection.
