>Description:
Currently dirfd() is unavailable when strict standards mode is enabled
(_POSIX_C_SOURCE). It is defined in POSIX.1-2008:

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/dirent.h.html

however, our implementation might not be quite compliant, since we
define it as a macro and I don't know whether this is kosher.
