I doubt this, it relies on comparing inode numbers and devices numbers
returned by lstat() and fstat(). lstat() just like O_FOLLOW only
considers the final component of the path. If it's a symlink, it returns
data about the symlink otherwise it returns data about the file (even
though it's accessed through symlinks).
