Heh.  This is actually rather amusing.  For 3.2, there is a similar problem:
libx.a has a version of readdir() that returns the structure defined in
<sys/ndir.h>, which is incompatable with the version defined in libc.a and
<dirent.h>.  (Comments about this have been made on c.u.sysv386; the basic
consensus has been to remove the offending modules from libx.a; since I
haven't done that on kithrup yet, I tend to replace '-lx' with '-lc -lx'.)
