Why bother testing for it at all. There was never any real compelling
reason to want to use readdir_r, given that it was less portable and
normal readdir() is perfectly safe to use if you have one DIR* per
thread. So given that you'll need to adapt the code to use readdir
anyway, there's little point keeping a conditional codepath to use
readdir_r IMHO.
