Details:

Building trunk versions of glibc fails (apart from other issues) like this:

#v+
i586-pc-gnu-gcc ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c [...]
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c: In function 'gaiconf_init':
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:1798: error: 'struct stat64' has no member
named 'st_mtim'
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c: In function 'gaiconf_reload':
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:1819: error: 'struct stat64' has no member
named 'st_mtim'
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c: In function 'getaddrinfo':
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:2007: error: used struct type value where
scalar is required
#v-

I extracted the following relevant (at least for this issue) differences for
`struct stat' and `struct stat64':

Hurd:

#v+
    __time_t st_atime;         /* Access time, seconds */
    unsigned long int st_atime_usec; /* and microseconds.  */
    __time_t st_mtime;         /* Modification time, seconds */
    unsigned long int st_mtime_usec; /* and microseconds.  */
    __time_t st_ctime;         /* Status change time, seconds */
    unsigned long int st_ctime_usec; /* and microseconds.  */
#v-

Linux:

#v+
#ifdef __USE_MISC
    /* Nanosecond resolution timestamps are stored in a format
       equivalent to 'struct timespec'.  This is the type used
       whenever possible but the Unix namespace rules do not allow the
       identifier 'timespec' to appear in the <sys/stat.h> header.
       Therefore we have to handle the use of this header in strictly
       standard-compliant sources special.  */
    struct timespec st_atim;           /* Time of last access.  */
    struct timespec st_mtim;           /* Time of last modification.  */
    struct timespec st_ctim;           /* Time of last status change.  */
# define st_atime st_atim.tv_sec       /* Backward compatibility.  */
# define st_mtime st_mtim.tv_sec
# define st_ctime st_ctim.tv_sec
#else
    __time_t st_atime;                 /* Time of last access.  */
    unsigned long int st_atimensec;    /* Nscecs of last access.  */
    __time_t st_mtime;                 /* Time of last modification.  */
    unsigned long int st_mtimensec;    /* Nsecs of last modification.  */
    __time_t st_ctime;                 /* Time of last status change.  */
    unsigned long int st_ctimensec;    /* Nsecs of last status change.  */
#endif
[...]
#define _STATBUF_ST_RDEV
/* Nanosecond resolution time values are supported.  */
#define _STATBUF_ST_NSEC
#v-
