Linux. Architecture doesn't matter.

The stat syscall can return a 32bit device number now that linux has
16bit majors and 16bit minors. Fixing it would involve expanding struct
stat by two bytes for every user, which is why I didn't report it on the
dietlibc list, I'm not sure it belongs in _diet_libc.

dietlibc returns EOVERFLOW whenever the major or minor is too big to fit
in an 8bit int.
