Paul Eggert ae0d725005 [ChangeLog]
Work around some portability problems with symlinks.
* Makefile.in (GNULIB_MODULES): Add lstat, readlink, symlink.
* configure.in (lstat, HAVE_LSTAT): Remove special hack.
* lib/lstat.c, lib/readlink.c, lib/stat.c, lib/symlink.c:
* m4/dos.m4, m4/lstat.m4, m4/readlink.m4, m4/stat.m4, m4/symlink.m4:
New files, automatically generated from gnulib.
* aclocal.m4, configure, lib/Makefile.in, lib/gnulib.mk:
* lib/stdlib.in.h, m4/gl-comp.m4, m4/stdlib_h.m4: Regenerate.

[src/ChangeLog]
Work around some portability problems with symlinks.
* fileio.c (Frename_file, Fmake_symbolic_link, Ffile_symlink_p):
Simplify the code by assuming that the readlink and symlink calls
exist, even if they always fail on this host.
(Ffile_readable_p): Likewise, for fifos.
* config.in: Regenerate.
