Thanks. I've added some text covering that point to readdir.3, and
also to getdents.2 (which is used to implement readdir(3)).
The fixes will be in man-pages-3.11, and are available on git now.

An earlier commit makes this point redundant:
commit 15dd4fb58b96d3cf9cc88eab85bce8e7baf4f8c0
Author: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Jul 4 22:38:01 2008 +0000
Add documentation of readdir_r().
Remove <sys/types.h> from SYNOPSIS; POSIX.1-2001 does not require it.
Some minor rewordings.

Thanks for the details.

And thanks very much for your report.
