Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue with tar and I am able to reproduce it
following the steps at:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-08/msg00006.html
This issue only appears to occur when using 32-bit Cygwin, I am unable to
reproduce it using 64-bit Cygwin.
I can confirm this. Running the tar command under gdb shows a problem at
gnu/fchmodat.c:94:
94 if (S_ISLNK (st.st_mode))
Here st is a stat structure for directory/1, so S_ISLNK() should be true. It is
indeed true on 64-bit Cygwin but not on 32-bit Cygwin. Someone needs to look
more closely and find out why this happened. I'll try to do it tomorrow if no
one beats me to it.
