[Sbcl-devel] mysterious "#undef reddir" in Alpha patches

[William H. N. <wil...@ai...>]

I was trying to figure out why SBCL won't run on OpenBSD any more, so
I reviewed the diffs of src/runtime/ vs. the last version which worked
(before the Alpha patches). I noticed this mysterious little bit:

+#if defined(readdir)
+#undef reddir
+#endif

I can guess that the second line is supposed to be 

+#undef readdir

but I can't figure out why this code would be necessary. readdir()
doesn't seem to be a preprocessor definition on Linux or OpenBSD, at
least on my x86 versions. Is there a preprocessor definition of
readdir() on Alpha Linux?
