Subject: [PATCH] Teach rtems_tarfs_load() about symlinks
rtems_tarfs_load() will now also fail if it encounters unsupported tar file
entry types (e.g., hard links)
I am not sure if this should now fail if it encounters an unsupported
tar file entry. This may crash applications that worked for a long time.
