[Bug libc/11333] New: size of struct dirent does not agree with kernel when using LFS on 32bit

["kees at outflux dot net" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Forwarded from https://launchpad.net/bugs/392501

It seems that the actual size of "struct dirent" with LFS enabled is 280 bytes,
but when defined for 32bit applications, the defined struct ends up at 276, and
something (the kernel?) is still writing the remaining 4 bytes.
