Bug description:
  The tests have this logic

  https://github.com/dgibson/dtc/blob/84d9dd2fcbc865a35d7f04d9b465b05ef286d281/tests/run_tests.sh#L45

  	stat --version 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'GNU'
  	GNUSTAT=$?
  	if [ "$GNUSTAT" -ne 0 ]; then
  		# Assume BSD stat if we can't detect as GNU stat
  		STATSZ="stat -f %Uz"
  	else
  		STATSZ="stat -c %s"
  	fi

  but with the rust coreutils

  # stat --version 2>/dev/null
  stat 0.0.30

  which leas to use %Uz which isn't working
