Older versions of glibc included an fts implementation that didn't have
Large File System support. We worked around that in linux-kernel-modules.c
by including it early before config.h and then redefining some symbols
to get the 64-bit versions. This is somewhat fragile and not necessary
with newer glibc. If possible we want the 64bit fts version always.
