glibc22-getdents-fix patch is not related to this problem.  It fixed
gettdents() unavailability on kernel 2.2.

What's the status of this patch?

I don't know it's glibc problem.  What's the point of this patch?  If
kernel 2.4 + glibc 2.3 works fine, then we don't need to introduce
such a workaround patch to glibc...
