This bit me for coreutils-5.96[*]. How about a new test release, autoconf-2.59e, so I can require that rather than providing a replacement AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK macro in coreutils-5.97? [*] It makes many of the coreutils use the lstat wrapper on Linux (resulting in an unnecessary performance penalty) and causes test failures on Solaris 9, where the wrapper is not being used, but should be.
