The syscall hasn't changed. It's strictly a libc thing so static code
should be fine. Dynamic code that doesn't dig into the DIR structure
(or at least, not very deeply), or try to duplicate the DIR structure,
will also not be affected.
The other change was to kernel internals to make VOP_READDIR pass and
return 64 bit cookies. That changes is strictly internal to the kernel.
