1. compiling older version of 'fortune' with gcc2.7.2.1: problem in dirent.h

Hello all

I have recently tried to compile the 'fortune' program from sunsite.
When I try to compile it on a pentium running linux 2.0.29 and gcc
2.7.2.1, I get the following message:

fortune.c: In function `add_dir':
fortune.c:702: structure has no member named `d_namlen'
fortune.c:704: structure has no member named `d_namlen'

In fortune.c, the offending lines both make reference to
dirent->d_namlen, where 'dirent' is declared as 'register struct dirent
*dirent'.

When I look at the included file dirent.h, I find that d_namlen is
included if __USE_GCC is #defined, and I have seen that d_namlen is part
of the structure of dirent.h in the GNU C Library reference manual.

What am I doing wrong here?  Am I invoking gcc in a way that it is not
assuming gnu compatibility?  Is there somewhere in the code that I
should #define __USE_GCC?

If you respond to me personally, please be aware of the spam-baffles in
my address.
