The struct stat layout differs from architecture to architecture.
"This layout works on x86-64" says absolutely nothing about
whether it is the right layout for any other architecture.

I don't know where you got the stat layout you say you tried,
but that doesn't match what the kernel has:

arm64 uses the generic stat layout:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.11.3/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/stat.h
which is defined here:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.11.3/include/uapi/asm-generic/stat.h
