That's rather odd; FreeBSD includes d_type (it's originally a BSDism I
think) - perhaps the configure script doesn't detect it properly...

the xodtemplate.c code is dependent on...

linux manpage for readdir, the NOTES says:

Only the fields d_name and d_ino are specified in POSIX.1-2001. The
remaining fields are available on many, but not all systems. Under
glibc, programs can check for the availability of the fields not defined

_DIRENT_HAVE_D_RECLEN, _DIRENT_HAVE_D_OFF, or _DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE are
defined.

To get this working under FreeBSD it may be simply sufficient to hack a

The
situation on solaris is a little more harsh, since it has no d_type.
I'll sort out a patch to do that and something a little more convincing
for common.h that detects BSD systems.
