That can't be the only thing that might be intercepting stat(), because
one of the various implementations of fakeroot is also visible in glib2.0
build logs. Do you know which one it is - original fakeroot, fakeroot-ng,
pseudo, proot (probably not that one since it doesn't register itself
as a fakeroot alternative), or something else?
