  Gnulib module: symlinkat
  @mindex symlinkat
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  glibc 2.3.6, Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 4.4.
  But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
  @item
  Some platforms declare this function in @code{stdio.h} instead of
  @code{unistd.h}:
  Cygwin 1.7.1.
  @item
  On some systems, @code{symlinkat(value, fd, "name/")} mistakenly creates a
  symlink:
  macOS 14, AIX 7.1.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function always fails with @samp{ENOSYS} on platforms that don't
  support symlinks:
  mingw, MSVC 14.
  @end itemize
