I spent three days trying to figure this out.  But with this fix we are
actually doing what you are suggesting.  All the (l)stat64 are being
replaced by (l)stat, so even:

int lstat64(const char *path, struct stat64 *statbuf)

is actually rewritten to

int lstat(const char *path, struct stat *statbuf)

because the define applies to the struct name as well.  The only
difference is that internally it will use the real_lstat64 function
pointer, but the function declaration is correct.  And if you enable
debugging it will say that lstat64 is being redirected, but that's a
pretty minor issue, if it is one at all.

What we could do is rewrite the macros so that all of the above is
properly expanded/substituted, but I do not think that is the way we
want to do things as it looked a bit messy (I probably still have that
commit somewhere.
