branch: https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/tree/2025.02.x
uclibc 1.0.57 added a statx() syscall wrapper in upstream commit [1].
zfs fail to build with uclibc 1.0.57 (not yet in Buildroot), because:
1. uclibc <fcntl.h> internally includes <sys/stat.h>, and
2. a zfs test redefines a statx() wrapper with a slightly different
prototype.
In that case, zfs fails to compile with error:
tests/zfs-tests/cmd/statx.c:58:1: error: conflicting types for 'statx'; have 'int(int, const char *, int, unsigned int, void *)'
Issue has been reported upstream at [2].
This commit adds a package patch to fix that issue.

+Subject: [PATCH] tests/zfs-tests/cmd/statx.c: avoid statx() conflicts
+
+With some libc, such as uclibc >= 1.0.57, the libc defines the statx()
+function, while also internally including <sys/stat.h> (from <fcntl.h>
+from example), which results to a compilation error due to conflicting
+types.
+
+This commit fixes the issue by only defining the statx() prototype only
+if the libc was detected not to have a working statx() wrapper, and
+explicitly include the <sys/stat.h> otherwise.
