Problem
Ref sbt/sbt#7463
Ref sbt/sbt#7455
On some Linux sbt 1.9.8 fail with "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'stat'". This is due to our workaround another stat related-issue. The general issue is that we currently call native call to retrieve the last modified time because JDK 8 use to have a bug JDK-8177809 that failed to get milliseconds.
The bug was fixed in 2021 openjdk8u302.
Solution
We can drop the whole native code mechanism.
