The dirent d_type field is not available on every system. This was
introduced at 2.38.0-rc0 in diagnose.c

diagnose.c, line 79: error(1565): struct "dirent" has no field "d_type"

  		    e->d_type == DT_DIR && strlen(e->d_name) == 2 &&

(3 more issues in diagnose exist of this form).

The code should use the  NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT knob to detect whether
this is an existing field as defined in cache.h.

Apologies for missing that, I'll try to send a patch fixing it either later today or
sometime Monday.

Thanks. If you need it tested in advance "in the wild", please let me know.
