Ah, indeed. I assumed that these were part of the syscalls that
originally came from osf1 but are still used on Linux systems,
but it appears that the stat family was never used like that
with glibc.
The oldstat family is actually in a similar category, as those
were only used on libc5 or earlier. stat64 is definitely
still needed on 32-bit userspace with 32-bit time_t.
