As quoted from <2418@ihlpe.ATT.COM> by dcon@ihlpe.ATT.COM (452is-Connet):

| Here are a set of diffs to fix some bugs in mkmf.  The majority were
| to get it running on SYSV.  The others are:
| 	1. mkmf would read ALL entries in a directory, including deleted files.
| 		- Checks d_ino (== 0 -> file deleted).
+---------------

Since your patches emulate readdir() by using read(), you would see this.
A better way to do this is to use dir.c from News 2.11 or rn sources; these
emulate the BSD directory routines correctly, including automatic skipping
of deleted entries.
