Even in Unixware, they maintained backward compatibility.

#ifndef DIRSIZ
#define DIRSIZ  14
#endif

typedef struct direct {
        o_ino_t d_ino;          /* s5 inode type */
        char    d_name[DIRSIZ];
} direct_t;

#define SDSIZ   (sizeof(struct direct))


Not that anyone was actually using s5 filesystems that late
