e2fsprogs does not compile after version bump to 1.43.1

[lede-bugs at lists.infradead.org]

Hi all,

Since commit e2d2b136b34e907e9258911537ce002b70e49133 (e2fsprogs: Bump to v1.43.1), 
e2fsprogs compilation brakes.

erros message:

first troubleshooting attempts:

-funcktion fstst() is defined in sys/stat.h
-if sys/stat.h is not included that means  HAVE_SYS_STAT_H is not defined
-checking the configure logfile shows this problem

As I am not confident with automake, I would need some help what to do next.
