Indeed, elder Emacsen, versions 23.x, do understand a settings like

        (setq dired-listing-switches "-ahlw -dired")

in the site init file and obey it, i.e., they can work with /bin/ls. All the 
GNU Emacs 24.x versions fail to obey. In earlier version it was also possible 
to set

        (setq insert-directory-program "gls" dired-use-ls-dired t)

This looks like being worth a bug report.
