[Bug libc/1026] New: Build failure for *xstat.c for Linux headers < 2.6.4

["macro at linux-mips dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

As advised by Ulrich Drepper I'm putting this report for you to resolve
when possible.

  The Alpha/Linux port requires *stat64 calls for building
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/*xstat.c, but they have only been introduced
in Linux 2.6.4.  The attached patch fixes the problem by only using these
calls if their numbers are provided by the set of Linux headers used for
the build.

2005-06-20  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@linux-mips.org>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/fxstat.c (__fxstat): Exclude code
	for calling the fstat64() syscall if its number is unavailable.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/lxstat.c (__lxstat): Likewise for 
	lstat64().
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/xstat.c (__xstat): Likewise for
	stat64().

 Please consider -- for HEAD.
