It allows to read directories using the six readdir variants
without writing type-specific code or using skeleton files
that are compiled four times.

The readdir_r subtest for support_readdir_expect_error revealed
bug 32124.

Should we just build this for SHARED? Or maybe just support SUPPORT_READDIR,
and SUPPORT_READDIR64 such scenario?

There is no SHARED build, only libsupport_nonshared.a.  To me, using
dlopen seems the simplest approach because the compat symbol has the
same version everywhere if it actually exists.

We cannot use a weak symbol because we do not support weak versions.

Thanks,
Florian
