Just to be clear, you looked at the wrong struct dirent definition for GNU/Linux, there is a sysdeps override. Right now, most programs relying on sizeof (struct dirent) work well in almost all cases. We really don't want to break that. There appears to be an overlap between these programs and users of readdir_r, so once we remove that from the API, we should have better story for struct dirent declarators as well.
