Solaris 10 build failure: dirent.d_type

[mcarpenter]

(Reposting from the forum since I'm not sure where the definitive place to post issues is and this seems a better place for tracking: https://polarssl.org/discussions/bug-report-issues/solaris-10-build-failure).

Build of polarssl 1.2.6 (and current HEAD at github) fails on Solaris 10 (u9, x86 and SPARC) because struct dirent does not include a d_type member as required by library/x509parse.c line 1952.

This struct has not been updated for Solaris 11 or 11.1 so presumably will not build there either.

Fixed in the 1.2 branch and in the 1.2.8 release
