Looks like the configure script is missing here. That check in
codec/dirent.h counts on autoconf determining the availability of some
features while there is no configure script and no config.h which would
provide that kind of information...

So, to me, this looks like upstream was copying that file from somewhere
without really looking at it. The best way (imho) in the long run would
be to bug upstream to switch to autotools. If that's not what they want,
they still have to fix that somehow. For now, you could write a small
wrapper using autotools to either call the makefile provided by upstream
or create CFLAGS dynamically.

Cheers,
Sebastian
