glibc supports many more flags.  SuS of course has to restrict itself,
there are not that many flags which are portable and available on all
the platforms.  Look at /usr/include/bits/statvfs.h for what has to be
supported and the values to use.  If the values the kernel will use
differ I'd have to (unnecessarily) convert the values.  If some values
are missing/not supported I still would have to use /proc/mounts and
nothing is gained.
