Hm, this sounds more like a workaround for a bug in glibc applied in
order to avoid recompilation of everything which depends on glibc.  It
appears that you will get screwed for a change if you will need from
stat values which do not fit into 32 bits.  Not that this worked too
well so far.  That probably violates some definitions/expectations too.  
No idea what long range consequences are one way or another.
