Hello,

I'm working for a client to generate embedded 32-bits Linux Kernel working after y2038 issue.

I generated a 5.15 Kernel thought Buildroot with Coreutils 9.0, GCC 11.2.0, Binutils 2.37 and CFLAGS  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -D_TIME_BITS=64

The Kernel pass y2038 but I found an issue with cp:
After analysis, the error occurs when trying to move an empty folder without all user mode rights.

Here how to reproduce:

# mkdir -p test/test1 folder

# chmod u-w test/test1

# date -s "2040-04-02"

# cp -a test/* folder/

cp: setting permissions for 'folder/test1' : Value too large for defined data type

Note: The folder is copied before the error occurs. The copy works fine before y2038.

The issue comes from coreutils-9.0/src/cp.c

Line 512 : if (lchmod (dir, stats.st_mode | S_IRWXU) != 0)

FYI I had a previous issue while calling lstat function from <sys/stat.h> which is included in lib/lchmod.c. I used /usr/bin/stat as a workaround.

Keep me in touch if you need more information.
