I am not sure why they were added in the first place (couldn't find
anything during a quick look at the commit logs and mailing list
archives), but the problem were some OS X special cases in the code,
namely using stat64() instead of lstat64().
I opened pull request 160
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/160) to fix that
– if there was a reason I missed for not using lstat() on OS X or not
running the other unit tests, please disregard it.

For some reason, the unit tests on Mac OS X are failing for std.file.symlink.
They pass just fine on Linux and FreeBSD, but the the Mac isn't so happy with
them.

Does anyone with a Mac have time to look at it? It tries to create a symlink
to /usr/include and verify that it worked, and it claims that the file exists
after calling symlink, but it also claims that it's not a symlink (hence the
failure). I have no access to a Mac, and so I can't do anything to fix it. We
can disable to the failing unit tests if we have to, but we should really fix
the issue rather than hiding the failing tests.
