ppc64 cross-compiler on iSeries and stat()

[Justin Banks]

Hello -

Consider the following program :

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        struct stat sb;

        if (stat(argv[1], &sb) == 0) {
                printf("File '%s' ", argv[1]);
                if (S_ISDIR(sb.st_mode))
                        printf("is a directory\n");
                else if (S_ISREG(sb.st_mode))
                        printf("is a regular file\n");
                else
                        printf("has mode %ld\n", sb.st_mode);
        }
        return (0);
}


[root at PW840L02 root]# gcc foo.c -o foo
[root at PW840L02 root]# ./foo Mail
File 'Mail' is a directory
[root at PW840L02 root]# ./foo hwlist.txt
File 'hwlist.txt' is a regular file

All is well. however,

[root at PW840L02 root]# powerpc64-linux-gcc foo.c -o foo
[root at PW840L02 root]# ./foo Mail
File 'Mail' has mode 0
[root at PW840L02 root]# ./foo hwlist.txt
File 'hwlist.txt' has mode 0
[root at PW840L02 root]# ls -ld Mail hwlist.txt
drwx------    7 root     root         4096 Feb  3 06:07 Mail
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        18250 Apr  7  2003 hwlist.txt

gdb confirms this odd (to me) behaviour.

For reasons I won't go into here, I must compile with the cross compiler.
Unfortunately, I also need to call stat().

Any ideas?
