We could (as my appended patch does) directly return the -1 from
getdents for errors. Is this the right semantic?
AFAICT it is compatible with NetBSD. So the patch looks OK to me.
Jamie, why are you calling __getdirentries? The symbol has a double
underscore in front of it and therefore it is a glibc internal symbol
that should not be used outside glibc itself.
