Thanks for the report.
What version of Linux is that?

In order to run (not be skipped) that test already requires
that with tmpfs the OS be Linux.  I probably need to add a
requirement on the version number, too.
I.e., it'd be good to know the first version of Linux in which
d_type support was added.

Can you tell that I build on tmpfs, too? :)
