The AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW emulation ues the default 32 bit stat internal
calls, which fails with EOVERFLOW if the file constains timestamps
beyond 2038.
Checked on i686-linux-gnu.
(cherry picked from commit 118a2aee07)
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
It appears that the ability to change symbolic link modes through such
paths is unintended. On several file systems, the operation fails with
EOPNOTSUPP, even though the symbolic link permissions are updated.
The expected behavior is a failure to update the permissions, without
file system changes.
