Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
After applying the recent patch to 8.31 ln to fix functionality on
solaris 10, I saw some improvement but I think there's something else wrong.
e.g. # ln -s /raven/etc/fonts/conf.avail/50-user.conf .
ln: failed to create symbolic link '.': Invalid argument
I'm sure commands like that worked with version 8.30.
Regards,
John

Thanks. Could you please try the attached patch, which I installed on master?
Also, please try running 'make check'. It should catch bugs like this.

Okay, that seems to fix the regression on ln.
I ran the test in a limited environment, which is why many of the tests
were skipped. However, there was one failure with tee you should look
at (attached).
