Patch to fix the compilation error in date.c

I've been cross-compiling busybox under Gentoo for MIPS, and version 1.17.1 is impossible to compile because it returns the error:

coreutils/date.c: In function 'date_main':
coreutils/date.c:210: error: 'struct stat' has no member named 'st_mtim'

The bug is in your official version too.

I attach a patch which fixes it (I sent it to Gentoo too).

Different libc's require different magic to refer to nanosecond times in struct stat.

Does it help if you add

#define _SVID_SOURCE 1

in date.c?
