When I look with a hex editor at system.s, there is a $01 character between
the "_stat" and the $0A newline. I checked that the $01 character is not in
the source code in any place with an
external name 'stat'.
So, this reman a mystery (but does block building the Unicode rtl).
The main branch compiler is currently somewhat unstable. We suspect memory
corruption, so it may be that you're experiencing a side-effect of that...
