bug#64123: "stat -f -c '%T' ." on alpha fails with EOVERFLOW with NFS

Hi, when running the command "stat -f -c '%T' ." on an alpha while being on an NFS filesystem, the command fails with EOVERFLOW.

$ stat -f -c "%T" .
stat: cannot read file system information for '.': Value too large for defined data type

The command does NOT fail when targeting any other filesystem type.

$ stat -f -c "%T" /
ext2/ext3

I am aware that EOVERFLOW is typically associated with 32-bit systems failing to hold 64-bit inodes and such. However, alpha is a pure 64-bit system; there does not even exist a 32-bit version.

This is the only platform on which I have observed this behavior. I also checked on all other platforms, including x86, arm, ppc, riscv, mips, sparc, hppa, and ia64. No other platform exhibited this error.

I am using kernel 6.3, glibc 2.37, and coreutils 9.3. If anybody would mind taking a look at this bug, I can provide direct shell access to the machine in question, with strace etc installed. Thank you!
