Just to clarify: by "all of those" I don't mean all the
stat64/oldstat/newstat variants that we have for compatibility with
older ABI's, but all the "calling conventions" variants.

IOW, all of stat/lstat/fstat and statx should exist as separate system
calls, and libc shouldn't have to rewrite arguments to make one into
another.

(And yes, things like 'strace()' and friends should show what the app
did, not what glibc had to rewrite things as, which is a private pet
peeve of mine)
