The problem boils down to the fact that you cannot really check
whether a filesystem entry is a directory without calling stat() or

My personal opinion is that support for DONT_HAVE_STAT and
DONT_HAVE_FSTAT defines should be dropped because they don't work, and
would only be useful in a very limited set of cases.
At present, it seems to be an attractive nuisance, tempting people like
Hossein to try something that does not work.
