When the ORPHAN property is disabled in dircolors, ls --color does not stat()
symlinks. However, in this case symlinks are not colored using the LINK
property.
How to reproduce:
$ eval $(dircolors -p | sed 's/^ORPHAN.*/ORPHAN 00/' | dircolors -)
$ mkdir /tmp/xxx
$ ln -s /tmp/nowhere /tmp/xxx/yyy
$ ls --color /tmp/xxx
Expected output:
yyy, colored cyan (default for LINK)
Actual output:
yyy, not colored
Fix attached. Basically, in gobble_file(), assume a symlink is ok if stat() is
not run on it.
It seems this was fixed over 5 years ago in version 6.9

Are you using an older version than that?
I'm marking as done for now.
