Ah, there we have it:
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
@code{openat (fd, "symlink", O_NOFOLLOW ...)} fails with @code{errno}
set to @code{EMLINK} instead of the POSIX-required @code{ELOOP} on
some platforms:
FreeBSD 10.1.
@item
@code{openat (fd, "symlink", O_NOFOLLOW ...)} fails with @code{errno}
set to @code{EFTYPE} instead of the POSIX-required @code{ELOOP} on
some platforms:
NetBSD 6.1.
@end itemize
I've committed a fix and made another snapshot; could you please retry?
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.7.4.7-8d12.tar.gz
Thanks,
Andreas
