Hi,
attached is a patch that reduces the memory in use on all systems where
BROKEN_ONE_BYTE_DIRENT_D_NAME is not defined.
It would be good if there was a ac_something variable that could be given to
configure to tell it if this workaround is needed or not when cross compiling.
We currently do it another way after running configure:
====
cat >>conftest.c <<EOF
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <assert.h>
int
main()
{
struct dirent d;
static_assert(sizeof(d.d_name) > sizeof(char), "struct to small");
return 0;
}
EOF
${target_platform}-gcc ${optflags} conftest.c && \
sed -ri 's/#define (BROKEN_ONE_BYTE_DIRENT_D_NAME) 1/#undef \1/'
config.h
====
Of course that only works when one has a compiler that is new enough (what we
can guarantee).
Greetings,
Eike

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] apply the struct dirent penalty only when needed
Many systems have a struct dirent that already has enough space to hold the
entries names, others like Solaris have not. For the latter extra space needs
to be allocated, but this was also done for the former systems leading to
needlessly reserved memory.
