OK. setup_obd_uuid() is called elsewhere, so I'll have to update the other code that will be impacted. I'll upload a new patch when those changes are made.

James, please open a new issue.

setup_obd_uuid() only uses the dir parameter as an argument to dirfd(). So its DIR *dir parameter should be replaced with int fd.

While you are at it another issue exist as well with newer platforms. On my Ubuntu 16 system I get the following build issues:

readdir() is the replacement for this function,

I don't think llapi_ostlist() should be changed, because it uses the opened directory as a parameter to setup_obd_uuid(), which takes a DIR pointer.
