To have automatic alignment according to target ABI, you must use abi_XXX type (see 
include/exec/user/abitypes.h)

For sparc, from the kernel, we have:

struct stat {
         unsigned int st_dev;
         __kernel_ino_t st_ino;
         __kernel_mode_t st_mode;
         short   st_nlink;
         __kernel_uid32_t st_uid;
         __kernel_gid32_t st_gid;
         unsigned int st_rdev;
         long    st_size;
         long    st_atime;
         long    st_mtime;
         long    st_ctime;
         long    st_blksize;
         long    st_blocks;
         unsigned long  __unused4[2];
};

So for the st_link we need to use abi_short.

We can do the same with stat64 and other fields (see linux/arch/sparc/include/uapi/asm/stat.h)
