OK, I'm guessing that we are talking about building and running
tests/libc/compat/unistd/xsymlink.exe

On my Win98 test box, I did a CVS update -d, did a make.
When I do this on Win98, I see failure just like test 3 below.

(Except my path is c:/v204/djgpp/tests/libc/compat/unistd/ in the error msg).

However, on my Win2K box, doing the exact same thing, exact same directory
path, exact same file system type (FAT32):

Test 2 passed
Test 3: Solving c:../../../../../../../v204/djgpp/tests/libc/compat/unistd/test1
Test 3 passed
Tests that check __solve_symlinks() failure cases:
Test 1 passed
Test 2 passed
PASS

So, it definitely looks like a difference in OS behavior to me.
