 It might. The whole sorry history of this stat64 nonsense has a lot of
 tentacles. But probably not since aarch64 MacOS doesn't go back very
 far.
 
 I guess the other question is: why does the configure test come up
 with the wrong answer? If we can figure out what's up with that, it's
 a more robust way to fix things. config.log may provide some insight.
