Other people expressed similar sentiments.
Note, that the locking stuff actually breaks old binaries
that use libc 4.5.26, while the stuff Marcin Dalecki wanted
to remove is much older.
So, anyone who is concerned about Marcin Dalecki's proposed
change should cry out loudly and demand the `#ifdef __sparc__'
in locks.c:fcntl_setlk() changed back to `#if 1'.
This is really a point that hurts, much more than this oldstat stuff.
