Ok.  The problem is this bit from lib/system.h:

/* Declare file status routines and bits.  */

#include <sys/stat.h>

#if !HAVE_LSTAT && !defined lstat
# define lstat stat
#endif

There is no configure test for LSTAT.  There's no mention of it in
configure.ac or config.h.in

On your system, are you accidently pulling it in from some other header
file?  I don't see any unusual header files that might accidently have such
a definition in it.
