A few weeks ago I noted that the Hurd headers for the GNU C library seem to not follow the X/Open specifications with respect to the <dirent.h> header file.
Recall: Under Linux the structure "dirent" contains a field called "d_ino", which might be aliased as "d_fileno", while the Hurd headers do just the opposite. I was able to locate an on-line copy of the X/Open UNIX specification (see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/systypes.h.html) which indicates: "The file 'dirent.h' [...] defines the structure dirent which includes the following members: ino_t d_ino file serial number char d_name[] name of entry" Although my request for clarification to the glibc-bugs list did not yield any response, I think this citation is enough to indicate that we should modify the Hurd header files to comply.
