I'd guess that they do that because POSIX doesn't specify those things with
enough details, so I'm afraid both FreeBSD and Linux can claim POSIX
readdir() compliance anyway.
The d_name[] field of the dirent struct is the only field you can rely on to
exist.
Your patch will thus unfortunately very likely break on other platforms as
well.
AFAIK.
