Hi Christoph, 

good to get this fixed.

As you move the solaris section in UnixFileSystem_md.c, you could move it behind BSD
to sort it alphabetically as in other places.

Why did you choose to define opendir to opendir64, but not so for fdopendir in UnixNativeDispatcher.c?

Looks good otherwise.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
