Replace the usage of readdir_r() with readdir() to address a
compilation error under glibc due to the deprecation of readdir_r
for their next release (2.24) [1, 2].
Add new error checking on readdir(), and fail if error occurs.
--
From the GNU libc manual [3]:
"
It is expected that future versions of POSIX will obsolete readdir_r and
mandate the level of thread safety for readdir which is provided by the
GNU C Library and other implementations today.
"
There is a filed bug in the Austin Group Defect Tracker [4] in which 'dalias'
proposes (in comment 0001632) that:
"
I would like to propose an alternate solution. For readdir, replace the text:
"The readdir() function need not be thread-safe."
with:
"If multiple threads call the readdir() function with the same directory
stream argument and without synchronization to preclude simultaneous
access, then the behavior is undefined."
With this change, the clunky readdir_r function is no longer needed or
useful, and should probably be deprecated. As the only reasonable way
to meet the implementation requirements for readdir is to have the dirent
buffer in the DIR structure, this change should not require any change to
existing implementations.

Currently shared libraries are automatically installed into /usr/lib
or /usr/lib64, depending on the supplied --prefix value and
$(XEN_TARGET_ARCH). Some systems, like recent Debian and Ubuntu releases,
do not use /usr/lib64, but instead /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.
With this change, packagers can supply the desired location for shared
libraries on the ./configure command line. Packagers need to note that
the default behaviour on 64-bit Linux systems will be to install shared
libraries in /usr/lib, not /usr/lib64, unless a --libdir value is provided
to ./configure.
Additionally, the libfsimage plugins are now loaded explicitly from
$LIBDIR/fs, removing platform-based decision trees in code.

[ ijc -- resolve rejects in configure by rerunning autogen.sh. Dropped changes
to remove m4/default_lib.m4 and update m4/pkg.m4 since they cause LIBDIR=/lib
instead of /usr/lib. Reran ./autogen.sh after that too ]
