Summary:                    coreutils/stat.c does not build for toolchains using
linux-libc-headers-2.6.x
Description: 
For toolchains built with linux-libc-headers-2.6.x,
$busybox/coreutils/stat.c fails to build with:

/tmp/test/busybox/coreutils/stat.c: In function `print_statfs':
/tmp/test/busybox/coreutils/stat.c:183: error: structure has no member
named `f_frsize'


`f_frsize' is exclusive to `struct statvfs'. Here's what statfs(2) has to
say (See also http://www.linuxbase.org/talks/kingdon200301/):

LSB has deprecated the library calls [f]statfs() and tells us to use
[f]statvfs() instead.



However, `struct statvfs' is a 2.6x-specific. So simply s/struct\
statfs/struct\ statvfs/ Just Won't Do It(tm):

/tmp/test/busybox/coreutils/stat.c: In function `print_statfs':
/tmp/test/busybox/coreutils/stat.c:154: error: structure has no member
named `f_namelen'
/tmp/test/busybox/coreutils/stat.c:158: error: structure has no member
named `f_type'
/tmp/test/busybox/coreutils/stat.c:162: error: structure has no member
named `f_type'

The equivalent for `f_namelen' in struct statvfs is `f_namemax'. statvfs
also provides no definition for `f_type'; used mainly with calls
human_fstype().

Upstream coreutils handled this with a kludge of compat macros:
