Rich Felker b3fa0f2b1b fix regression in alignment of dirent structs produced by readdir
commit 32482f61da reduced the number of
int members before the dirent buf from 4 to 3, thereby misaligning it
mod sizeof(off_t), producing invalid accesses on any arch where
alignof(off_t)==sizeof(off_t).

rather than re-adding wasted padding, reorder the struct to meet the
requirement and add a comment and static assertion to prevent this
from getting broken again.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
