  Gnulib module: link
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 14.
  @item
  This function fails to reject trailing slashes on non-directories on
  some platforms:
  FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 11 2011-11, Cygwin 1.5.x.
  @item
  When the second argument is a dangling symlink, some platforms follow
  that link and create the destination rather than failing:
  IRIX 6.5.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  When the first argument is a symlink, some platforms create a
  hard-link to what the symlink referenced, rather than to the symlink
  itself.  Use @samp{linkat} to force a particular behavior.
  @end itemize
