Hi

I am working on a
	SINIX-F ukh840 V5.24 N14 MX550 
Machine (says uname -a).

I had a Problem in installing fileutils-3.4.

In file system.h (and also in backupfile.c, savedir.c) in directory lib
there is defined

	#ifdef direct
	#undef direct
	#endif
	#define direct dirent

in /usr/include/dirent.h on my machine is defined

	#define dirent direct
	...
	struct direct{ /* definition of struct direct */
	...
	}

a make resulted in

	backupfile.c:141 [error] infinite expansion of direct


So i changed 

	#ifdef direct
	#undef direct
	#endif
	#define direct dirent

to

	#ifndef sinix
	#	undef direct
	#	endif
	#	define direct dirent
	#endif

to outcomment the hack
and could build fileutils-3.4.

Bye
