I’m actually interested in cross-compilation to GNU/Hurd, which doesn’t
have the problem I suppose.

OK, let's go with that then. Or perhaps, a bit more
conservatively

Yes, this appears to be the case. Grepping through log files of many
platforms:
$ fgrep 'checking whether fstatat (..., 0) works' multibuild-1*/*.log |

I'm not a fan of hardwiring this stuff in, as I
figure that people doing embedded cross-compilation
shoul

The problem with this conservative approach is that it penalizes
all the people who do cross-compiles to embedded Linux (eglibc or uClibc)
platforms

I'd rather not hardwire assumptions about AIX into
the 'configure' code, so instead I installed the
following more-conservative patch, which I hope
fixes your problem.
