Hi Miklos,

[Cc'ing bug-gnulib, since all but src/stat.c are from gnulib]

Thank you for the patch.
However, I'm not sure it's portable enough.
Do you know when the f_frsize member began to be useful?
Without knowing that, I cannot judge whether this introduces
a portability problem on older glibc, kernels or file systems.
Even merely knowing that is probably not enough.

Given the lack of documentation for that member, I suspect
that any safe change would involve a run-time check to verify
that infrastructure is new enough that the member is usable.
