I spent three days trying to figure this out. But with this fix we are
actually doing what you are suggesting. All the (l)stat64 are being
replaced by (l)stat, so even:
int lstat64(const char *path, struct stat64 *statbuf)
is actually rewritten to
int lstat(const char *path, struct stat *statbuf)
because the define applies to the struct name as well. The only
difference is that internally it will use the real_lstat64 function
pointer, but the function declaration is correct. And if you enable
debugging it will say that lstat64 is being redirected, but that's a
pretty minor issue, if it is one at all.
What we could do is rewrite the macros so that all of the above is
properly expanded/substituted, but I do not think that is the way we
want to do things as it looked a bit messy (I probably still have that
commit somewhere.
Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Daniel
