I installed all fedora packages under a directory and ran greg's tool over: /sbin /usr/sbin /bin /usr/bin /usr/kerberos/bin/ /usr/kerberos/sbin/ Aggregate results: 4070 29.1% are scripts (shell, perl, whatever) 6598 47.2% don't use any stat() family calls at all 1829 13.1% use 32-bit stat() family interfaces only 1312 9.4% use 64-bit stat64() family interfaces only 180 1.3% use both 32-bit and 64-bit stat() family interfaces list of packages, sorted by the semi-lame "number of files in package which call a 32-bit stat variant" metric: http://sandeen.fedorapeople.org/stat32-ers I'm going to see if I can't leverage Fedora to clean some of this up. -Eric
