Oh, no problem then. If there are no existing binaries, then yes,
please do that,

It avoids the compat issues too.

I think 'struct statx' is a horrid bloated thing (clearing those extra
"spare" words is a pain, and yes, the user copy for _regular_ 'stat()'
already shows up in profiles), but for some new 32-bit platform it's
definitely worth the pain just to avoid the compat code or new
structure definitions.
