Second that. This patch needs a proper commit message anyway, I don't know how it managed to arrive to this list without one. I do know the answer to the connection between this patch and nanoMIPS though. nanoMIPS supports different set of syscalls from "stat" group than mips32/mips64/mipsn32 or any other platform. Without this patch, nanoMIPS QEMU user-mode build would fail (but complete nanoMIPS QEMU user-mode support have not been sent for review to this list so far - it will be sent most likely next week).
