Ok, that makes sense.

You have to use statx() here, but the upside is that this can be
done in an architecture-independent way.

I have recently started revisiting a larger cleanup of the way we
generate the system call tables. It should be possible to use this
to generate the libc-side wrappers as well, which may help with the
y2038 conversion.
