The file functions of Clean use the 'stat' function of the system. The C=
 compiler replaces this function call by a call to the function with label=
 '__xstat'. This label should be defined in the C library (libc) on your sys=
tem.

The label '__xstat' is imported by _startup.o, the label '_xstat' is not.

You are probably linking with an older libc that does not have a definition=
 of xstat. You need libc 6/glibc 2 for the latest version of Clean for linux=
.
