`mkdir' is a stub; the real function is `__mkdir', and `mkdir' only
jmp's to `__mkdir'.  Since `__mkdir' is used in ANSI functions,
`statfs' cannot be called from `__mkdir'.  In fact, since `statfs' is
not even Posix, it cannot be called from `mkdir' as well without
renaming it to `__statfs' or something.
