If this is in fact the best fix, we would probably proceed by adding
the define via configure or in include/posix.h.
What affect does this -D have on other parts of the code?
Is this a documented define?
I'd prefer another approach to fixing the problem, if one is
available. For instance we could have a readdir adapter template,
like we do for other functions.

It is possible.
