For curiousity's sake, what does 'cat include/linux/version.h' show?  Ahh.  ok,
I see.  I'll bet you 3 millions dollars you are compiling against a 2.4.x
kernel.  In the 2.4.x kernels, a dirent64 struct was added that uses types
__u64 and __s64 types -- types not understood by uClibc at the moment.  The
real bug here though, which I should have noticed immedately on your first
email, is the fact that getdents.c is directly using kernel headers. It
shouldn't be doing that -- I have made it a strict policy that nothing in the
uClibc library is supposed to use kernel header files.  Now fixed in CVS. 

Care to do a 'cvs up' and try again?
