When using sln on some filesystems which return 64-bit inodes, the stat
call might fail during install like so:
	.../elf/sln .../elf/symlink.list
	/lib32/libc.so.6: invalid destination: Value too large for defined data type
	/lib32/ld-linux.so.2: invalid destination: Value too large for defined data type
	Makefile:104: recipe for target 'install-symbolic-link' failed

Switch to using stat64 all the time to avoid this.

	* elf/sln.c (makesymlink): Change stat to stat64, and lstat to lstat64.

Should say “struct stat” instead of “stat”, to avoid confusion.
Otherwise good.

Thanks,

This is [BZ #15333] (but that bug should not be closed as fixed unless 
there are no further issues of this form left).

thanks.  i've linked the ChangeLog entry to that bug.  i've also added
a list of programs/libraries that look suspicious so we can at least
have an end goal to close the bug.
