I do not think it is a bug in the base system.  You seems to install
stable/11 libc.  How did you get that libc, is a different question.

The stat at FBSD_1.5 symbol was added during the CURRENT-12 lifecycle due
to the ino64 work, and was there at the branch point for 12. Of course
nobody removed it from libc since then.
