This issue exists in core-image-sato-sdk image for p1022ds, mpc8315 and edgerouter. When the system startup, I got the following error:
############################
...
Populating dev cache
stat: invalid option -- 'L'
Usage: stat [-l] [-f] [-s] [-v] [-h] [-t] [-c format] file1 [file2 ...]
...
############################

The cause is the stat command for stat package doesn't support -L option:
