"Missing header file: HsDirectory.h" with old kernel/glibc

Configuring ghc-6.12.1rc1 on a machine with linux kernel 2.6.9 and glibc 2.3.4 gives:

$ ./configure
[...]
Configuring directory-1.0.1.0...
[...]
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating include/HsDirectoryConfig.h
ghc-cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing header file: HsDirectory.h
[...]

The file HsDirectory.h is actually there, but it fails to compile.

$ cd libraries/directory
$ runhaskell Setup configure -v3
[...]
include/HsDirectory.h:58: error: syntax error before "__hscore_S_IRUSR"
include/HsDirectory.h:59: error: syntax error before "__hscore_S_IWUSR"
include/HsDirectory.h:60: error: syntax error before "__hscore_S_IXUSR"
include/HsDirectory.h:61: error: syntax error before "__hscore_S_IFDIR"
[...]

The problem can be fixed by adding #include <sys/types.h> at the beginning of HsDirectory.h.
