Subject: [PATCH] (_STAT_VER, _MKNOD_VER): New macros. (__xstat, __fxstat,
 __lxstat, __xmknod): Declare new functions. [__GNUC__] (stat, fstat, lstat,
 mknod): Define these (and __ names) as `extern inline's calling the `x'
 functions.

+/* To allow the `struct stat' structure and the file type `mode_t' bits to
+   vary without changing shared library major version number, the `stat'
+   family of functions and `mknod' are in fact inline wrappers around calls
+   to `xstat', `fxstat', `lxstat', and `xmknod', which all take a leading
+   version-number argument designating the data structure and bits used.
+   <statbuf.h> defines _STAT_VER with the version number corresponding to
+   `struct stat' as defined in that file; and _MKNOD_VER with the version
+   number corresponding to the S_IF* macros defined therein.  It is
+   arranged that when not inlined these function are always statically
+   linked; that way a dynamically-linked executable always encodes the
+   version number corresponding to the data structures it uses, so the `x'
+   functions in the shared library can adapt without needing to recompile
+   all callers.  */
