Sync from coreutils. * modules/lstat (Depends-on): Don't depend on xalloc. (License): Change from GPL to LGPL, since this is now simply a replacement for a libc function. Eliminate the unwelcome (albeit unlikely) possibility of xmalloc failure on deficient systems, and simplify gnulib lgpl dependencies. * lib/lstat.c (rpl_lstat): Rewrite to use stat() in place of the xmalloc/lstat combination. Based on a patch from Bruno Haible. * lib/xalloc-die.c: Remove unused definition of N_. * m4/ls-mntd-fs.m4 (AC_FUNC_GETMNTENT): Invoke AC_CHECK_FUNCS(getmntent) unconditionally so that tests of $ac_cv_func_getmntent (e.g., in gl_LIST_MOUNTED_FILE_SYSTEMS) need not double-quote uses of that variable, to accommodate the rare case in which getmntent is available in none of the libraries checked. This happens at least on FreeBSD 5.0.
