Found your patch, Laurynas, and applied it to re-build fileutils 3.16, 
with no problems.  For the sake of others, here is the pointer to that 
patch:

FWIW, Martin's last version of statfs seems to report the same values 
as Win98 "Properties" for both CDRW and DVDROM on my Win98SE 
system.  CHKDSK won't report on these drives in a DOS box on my system, 
says they are "networked" drives, so I can't report what CHKDSK says, 
and I don't have my plain DOS set up to recognize these drives right 
now.

Here are the results from "dir /v" from a DOS box, y: is a DVD, z: is a 
CDRW.

N:\>dir /v y:

Here are the results from stock fileutils 3.16 df.  The DVD value is 
different (much less) than the Win98 "Properties" value, and definitely 
wrong, the CDRW value is the same as the Win98 "Properties" value.

N:\>df y:
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
EXCALIBUR_16X9_FF_NA 2097120 2097120        0    100%   y:/

N:\>df z:
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
Corel Linux 1.2 Sources
                       325888  325888        0    100%   z:/

Here are the results from rebuilding libc with Martin's version of 
statfs and then rebuilding fileutils 3.16.  The CDRW is the same, and 
the DVD value agrees with the Win98 "Properties" value.

O:\gnu\filutil3.16\src>df y:
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
EXCALIBUR_16X9_FF_NA 6729942 6729942        0    100%   y:/

O:\gnu\filutil3.16\src>df z:

                       325888  325888        0    100%   z:/
