After fiddling around a litte bit more, I found out that dirent.h is pulled
in from tools/compat/compat_defs.h. I modified that file, and it works.
Below is the version I came up with. I compiled a whole release and got
no problems.
Maybe other architectures need the #include <dirent.h>, but on linux it
seems to be superfluous.
