dnl This macro can be used to emulate POSIX linkat.  If
dnl LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS is 0, link matches linkat(,0), and
dnl linkat(,AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW) requires a readlink. If it is 1,
dnl link matches linkat(,AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW), and there is no way
dnl to do linkat(,0) on symlinks (on all other file types,
dnl link() is sufficient).  If it is -1, use a Solaris specific
dnl runtime test.  If it is -2, use a generic runtime test.
