Bug 468790 – app-portage/portage-utils-0.30 fails to compile on Solaris due to missing lstatat

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

CCLD     q
./autotools/gnulib/libgnu.a(renameat.o): In function `rpl_renameat':
renameat.c:(.text+0x63): undefined reference to `lstatat'
renameat.c:(.text+0x7f): undefined reference to `lstatat'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [q] Error 1

lstatat is in the headers conditionally enabled if GNULIB_STATAT is enabled (bug?)

I think enabling statat gnulib module is enough here.  Didn't have time to test yet.

the gnulib code should pull in that automatically.  if it doesn't, then it's a bug in the gnulib stuff.

sent patch upstream.  unfortunately, i don't think there's a workaround.  the package would need to be regenerated.
