  Modified:    gnu/libexec/uucp/common_sources config.h
  Log:
  We do have <dirent.h>, and it was harmful to pretend that we don't.
  Several files in uucp/libunix included <sys/dir.h> and defined dirent
  as direct, but <sys/dir.h> defines direct as dirent.  This macro
  recursion is not allowed by cpp in traditional mode.  The 2.0 mkdep
  uses cpp in traditional mode (another bug) so cpp prints a error
  message and exits with a nonzero status.  The error status leaks out
  of the pipe (another bug) so mkdep "succeeds".  It may even succeed.
