I spoke too soon, I think.  It sounds like I didn't actually
understand your suggestion, or maybe I'm missing something.

I went to the URL above, and was presented with a few links.  Only one
of them, "Issues" leads to meaningful information.  There, I'm
presented with a long list of issues.  Did you mean to search there
for anything pertaining to dirent functions?  If so, I did that, but
searching for "dirent" and "opendir" brings up a small number of
issues, all of them either "closed" or "closed-fixed".

This part of your message:

seems to imply that I might find patches related to the change in
dirent ABI that somehow caused the incompatibility where none was
intended.  But I cannot find anything appropriate on that page.

Am I missing something?
