build6_stat removed?

[Iyer, Balaji V]

Hello Everyone,
        I have a question regarding build6_stat. I saw that in 7/25 merge, 
someone removed this function. Why was it removed? I am currently using it in 
my Cilk Plus branch. What is a work around for this? Am I allowed to put this 
function back in?

Thanks,

Balaji V. Iyer.
