On Darwin 14.3.0 linkat(,"path1",,"dangling_symlink/",) causes the symlink to be dereferenced, and if it points to a non existent file, that file will be created as a hard link to "path1". This fixes a test failure in test-linkat.c. * m4/linkat.m4 (gl_FUNC_LINKAT): Augment the test with this case. The existing workaround in linkat.c for trailing slash issues, suffices for this case. * doc/posix-functions/linkat.texi: Add OS X 10.10 to the list of platforms with trailing slash issues.
