Dear maintainers,
Compiling the firebuild failed for loong64 in the Debian Package
Auto-Building environment.
The error log is as follows,
```
3: Overridden methods that do not exist in libc, libdl or libpthread:
3: __fxstat
3: __fxstat64
3: __fxstatat
3: __fxstatat64
3: __lxstat
3: __lxstat64
3: __xmknod
3: __xmknodat
3: __xstat
3: __xstat64
3: All expected fortified methods overridden
3: All expected 64bit methods overridden
3: All expected time64 methods overridden
3: All expected underscore methods overridden
3/3 Test #3: test-symbols .....................***Failed 2.64 sec
67% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 3
Total Test time (real) = 17.50 sec
The following tests FAILED:
3 - test-symbols (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
```
After analyzing, glibc uses standard stat interfaces directly for
loongarch64,
without legacy versioned internal symbols (__xstat/__fxstat/__lxstat
series).
We need to filter out the glibc legacy versioned internal symbols
(__xstat series) for loongarch64.
Please consider the patch attached.
Based attached patch, I have built firebuild successfully on loong64.
