Yes.

Compiling with -O also "fixes" the problem. There is no stat() in
libc.so.6, only inline function in /usr/include/sys/stat.h and out-of-line
copy in /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a. -O makes the compiler use the inline
definition from the header. Nevertheless, -lc is the CORRECT solution
(libc magic: /usr/lib/libc.so is a text file (!) telling ld to link with
libc.so.6 AND libc_nonshared.a).
