Please try the attached simple patch.  It should make mbox2dir compile.
Whether the tool will work as intended, I can't tell for sure.  Try
running it manually (see the initial comment for the usage tips) to
see if it works.  If so, run make check.  Let me know if you encounter
any further problems.

No, you didn't.  The problem is that O_DIRECTORY flag is not defined on
older systems.

Mbox2dir is an auxiliary tool used only by the mailutils testsuite
(make check).  It is not needed outside of it.  Nevertheless, I would
suggest trying to fix it as described and running tests, just to be
sure everything works as expected.
