I used the crate statx-sys to get the creation time of files under Linux >= 4.11, as Rust stdlib will not have statx support before some time (since it involves a breaking change).
Notable changes:
I’m waiting for this PR for statx-sys to be accepted to be able to use the correct field name right away (see PR for details).
Edit: using libc and bumping its version instead.
