As soon as you recompile libc, applications expecting the old statfs() ABI get the new statfs(), and depending on where their smaller struct statfs is located, may stomp on memory they're using for something else (like critical data structures).

But if they are re-compiled, won't they be re-compiled with the newer struct statfs? (and thus be the correct size)
