I understand, but in bits/dirent.h there is, with some
assumptions, this part:

#ifdef __USE_LARGEFILE64
struct dirent64
  {
    __ino64_t d_ino;
    __off64_t d_off;
    unsigned short int d_reclen;
    unsigned char d_type;
    char d_name[256];           /* We must not include limits.h! */
  };
#endif

why redefine a struct linux_dirent64?

PS We have time until Monday morning to discuss this, right? :)
