Is statfs() still supposed to be in libc?




While upgrading ncbi-blast+, I looked deeper into a workaround for a statfs() issue.  The blast configure script incorrectly determines that statfs() is supported on NetBSD, when in reality is was deprecated and removed from the API a long time ago, superseded by statvfs().

However, the statfs() function is still in libc and this is all the configure script checks for.

Is statfs() still needed internally, or should it be removed from libc at this point?
