Not really. I've been told that my system is "seriously" hosed. that
would be news to me.
I told two people that I wouldn't say this in public... but I just
can't keep my big mouth closed. I have accepted the proper and official
"answer" that taildir is to be used with cyclog.

I'm not a C genius... but it looks like yet another linux program
written without a concern in the world for portibility. linux programs
tend to assume that the rest of the world is compatible with them and
not the other way around.
I'm sure someone could go dig up or translate alphasort and scandir
libraries or find compatible calls... but I'm sure if I just RTFM some
more or keep searching the FAQs, I'll find the answer there, somewhere.
