At least one more adaptation needed - I'm changing link-follow.m4 to
define LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS as a tri-state (1 yes (losing system), 0 no
(good, like GNU), and -1 unknown (decide at runtime, so that
cross-compilation doesn't guess wrong).  This won't affect ln.c, but
copy.c needs to use #if LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS instead of #ifdef.
