These two failures look similar, in that they are both instances of the
BSD kernel mistakenly succeeding when handed a symlink to a non-directory
coupled with a trailing slash.  It's not quite the same failure scenario
as Solaris 9, but the workaround is similar.  So I'm hoping that all I
have to do is update the .m4 tests to detect the bug, and that the
existing Solaris 9 code will take care of the rest.

No idea.  I haven't played with posixtm much.

Looks like a case of BSD returning a non-standard errno, but where it is
easier to teach the test one more errno to allow than to wrap the BSD bug.
 Now, if only I knew which errno to ignore...
