Should legacy fstat (via __fxstat) and fstat@GLIBC_2.33 call the same syscall?

Currently, __fxstat may get mapped to the fstat system call, while fstat
goes to fstatat.  This makes sandboxing issues less obvious to debug:

Should we change this before the release?  And if yes, in what
direction?

Thanks,
