I'll go looking there, thanks.

... has this changed recently? I looked at almost any file having
"syscall" in it's name but didn't find anything regarding "*dir". I
forgot to mention that I'm using fpc 2.0.2 release sources atm.

Because "readdir_r" gives proper error messages and "readdir" doesn't.

But you're right, for testing it's functionality I could link to libc
directly from my code.
