The current implementation of rexec() uses fstat() and it seems
to pick up the wrong values for st_mode. As a consequence
the code keeps complaining about the permissions for ~/.netrc
and won't complete successfully.
I don't know enough about the how the re-mapping of stat/stat64
works within cygwin1.dll itself, but changing to fstat64()
like libc/iruserok.c resolves the problem.

* libc/rexec.cc: Use fstat64() instead of fstat().
