Not at all--I was just trying to clarify my own position (I realized I said
"build" instead of "test"), and I didn't want to send anyone actively
investigating down a dead-end.

That's really interesting. I wonder if readlink is getting passed down into
the filesystem...I started to dig into glibc/kernel sources to see if this was
the case, but started to realize that there might be a lot of entry points into
that system call (which made me sad). I don't think there's going to much
upstream traction on the issue, unfortunately.
