By my reading, the dirent.h license is very similar to a two-clause BSD license. Standard two/three clause BSD licensed code can be mixed with GPL code without any issues. I think the only additional thing we need to bear in mind is to include a copy of the dirent.h license with any binaries that are built with the code (although the license doesn't explicitly state that as a requirement).
