On mips64le, syscall.Getdents() and struct syscall.Dirent do not fit together, causing our parseDirents() implementation to return garbage ( see rfjakob/gocryptfs#200 and golang/go#23624 ). Switch to unix.Getdents which does not have this problem - the next Go release with the syscall package fixes is too far away, and will take time to trickle into distros. This issue has been reported by Debian maintainer Felix Lechner.
