8202794: Native Unix code should use readdir rather than readdir_r

[ted at tedneward.com]

Well, that works for JDK 10, it seems... (building now...) but is there a similar way to disable warnings for JDK 8 and 9? Some combination of CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS, perhaps? I'd really like to be able to build 8 and 9; particularly 8, since that's what my current employer is still using. :-)

Ted,

I just use --disable-warnings-as-errors in bash configure command to build jdk 10/11 on Ubuntu 18.
