OK, thanks, this one is a bit much to fix with a simple patch, but
if you could try the following tarball, let's see if that
solves this new fstatat problem (as well as the old one).
If so, we can go on to the next test failure.

(This is a temporary tarball, just for this experiment;
it's about 3.5 MB, which is probably too big to email.)

 ./configure && gmake check gives ...

So this bundle seems to have the fstatat issue resolved.
