Hi,

building on solaris 9 (and older) fails because the existing scandir()
implementatino is inside the UCB layer (additional  -I and -L flags needed) but
it is also slightly different in the parameters (direct vs. dirent). I couldn't
get configure to pass, I don't even know about the code. Perhaps it can be
done, but it is worth?

Some other odd OSs apparently do not have scandir() available at all.

I propose to have a fallback version supplied to make fontconfig more portable.

E.g. look at this patch NetBSD applies in its portable package:

http://pkgsrc.se/files.php?messageId=20140715144835.1658296@cvs.netbsd.org

Instead of enabling for just one OS, perhaps it should be enabled it configure
fails the test.

Thanks, Riccardo
