sizeof ((struct dirent64){0}.d_reclen) could just be
sizeof (new_reclen).  After all, this only works if they are the same.

I guess -fno-strict-aliasing looks more attractive now. 8-/

You probably should write ((char *) dp) instead of (char *)(dp) if you
want to make the operator precedence explicit, or at least drop the
parentheses around dp.  (I think the cast binds tighter than the +,
but I can't really remember.  I tend to write the paranetheses.)
