  Gnulib module: symlink
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On some systems, @code{symlink(value,"name/")} mistakenly creates a
  symlink:
  macOS 14, FreeBSD 7.2, AIX 7.1, Solaris 9.
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
  always fails with @code{EPERM}:
  mingw, MSVC 14.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  Some file systems do not support symbolic links.
