gnu tar 1.19 requires open() with O_DIRECTORY?

Hello,

I am trying to get gnu tar to build on VMS.

I have run into a problem: GNU TAR now requires that the open() call support O_DIRECTORY.

On the VMS platform, this support is not available. Using open() on a directory will always fail. Only opendir() can be used, and readdir() must be used to read the contents.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
-John
