3 dnl SunOS's readdir is broken in such a way that rm.c has to add extra code
4 dnl to test whether a NULL return value really means there are no more files
7 dnl Detect the problem by creating a directory containing 300 files (254 not
8 dnl counting . and .. is the minimum) and see if a loop doing `readdir; unlink'
9 dnl removes all of them.
11 dnl Define HAVE_WORKING_READDIR if readdir does *not* have this problem.
