The coreutils 'stat' command invokes 'statfs (filename, &statfsbuf)',
but on Solaris 8 the statfs function takes 4 arguments, not 2, and the
arguments are of different types. I assume that this leads to bogus
results though I haven't tested it.
In the long run, I suppose that 'stat' should be changed to call
get_fs_usage, which seems to be better-ported: it knows about
the Solaris way of invoking statfs. This'd take some work, though.
In the short run, here's a simple preventive measure that will cause
'stat.c' to fail to compile on Solaris 8: this is bad but it is better
than undefined behavior at runtime.

* src/stat.c [HAVE_SYS_STATFS_H]: Include <sys/statfs.h>, for
a statfs prototype on Solaris 8.
