It came in originally in a patch I sent and one that Yao sent:

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-11/msg00502.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-11/msg00654.html

I thought maybe removing these workarounds would be ok, but it seems
like it can't be done: when I remove stat and lstat from
update-gnulib.sh, they still appear.

Maybe --avoid=stat will work.
