I've created separate clean DJGPP installation with CVS libc and binaries
from clio.rice.edu dated 2003-02-01 and symlink testsuite still does not
fail here. Frankly, I think I've done everything I could at this point.
Maybe it's W98 vs W2K thing? Could somebody else with W98/W2K test
tests/libc/compat/unistd/xsymlink.c to see if it fails? In any case, I'm
unable to debug it here, so I won't for now until someone gives a clue.
