[PATCH] AIX NFS patches part1

[g***@pie-dabas.net]

Hello all,

I have collection of some AIX specific patches, to fix wildcards and path
completion, if used on NFS mounted filesystems.

As a beginner in GNU contributions, i was not able to format in proper
way. Sorry about that. Anyway, i will put my work here, and if possible,
format it better in future :) Here it is against latest 5.0 beta. First
patch was for bash-4.4.

The answer from

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-08/msg00054.html

about opendir64/readdir64/closedir64 still stands.

Thanks for pointing to old threads.
I was able to find root cause of this issue, somewhere in LKML.
And was forced to patch and recompile some more freeware tools, like "tar"
and "make", used in our development environment.

Sad truth about all that - lack of consistent LARGEFILE support in GNU
header files and Makefiles/autoconfig/etc...

There is no magic - someone has to write some code between #if and #endif :(

Yes. My answer assumes you're using the `standard' AIX header files, which
should #define opendir as opendir64 if _LARGE_FILES is defined. Similarly
for dirent64/readdir64/closedir64.

If you're using replacement GNU header files, yes, similar code will have
to be in those header files.
