pythonh: Function type does not match previously declared function with the same mangled name: `stat64`

RUN echo '#include <python3.7/Python.h>' > pythonh.dpp
RUN DFLAGS="-L=-L/usr/lib/llvm-7/lib/" dub run dpp -- pythonh.dpp \

will produce a file pythonh.d which contains this coding

pragma(mangle, "stat64") int stat64_(const(char)*, stat64*) @nogc nothrow;
int fstat(int, stat*) @nogc nothrow;
pragma(mangle, "stat64") int stat_(const(char)*, stat*) @nogc nothrow;

LDC2 complains:

pythonh.d(150): Error: Function type does not match previously declared function with the same mangled name: stat64
pythonh.d(150): Previous IR type: i32 (i8*, %pythonh.stat64*)
pythonh.d(150): New IR type: i32 (i8*, %pythonh.stat*)

Ah. I never noticed it before because I only ever used dmd on the result and ldc is a bit more of a stickler wrt duplicate symbols. A workaround for now is to use dmd instead.

For some reason libclang is returning "stat64" as the mangling for "stat" even though, as C linkage functions, they don't mangle!

I'm racking my head how to solve this without having to try and reduce the issue with libclang. There's no good way to know if the cursor is C or C++ (thereby avoiding any mangling whatsoever if not needed, as is the case here). There's a function to get the language, but it returns "C" for any and all functions regardless of them being extern "C" or not. There's a function to get linkage, but it doesn't do what you'd expect and basically tells you if a cursor is extern or not.

cling can do a lot of things that libclang cannot. one of those things might be wrap the parts of clang + associated related code not in libclang.

If my understanding is correct, with this pr it will be a deprecation warning also with DMD dlang/dmd#8429
