I see. I grepped for __kernel_stat64 and couldn't find any other with that name, as the others tend to us slightly different names.
I would still think there is something wrong if you need to define your own copy of xstat_conv when the kernel 'struct stat64' is meant to be usable by user space. Shouldn't this work like any other 32-bit architecture now?
