Awesome, thanks! Patch now checked in.

For Eli, I am not discarding his feedback, but in the interest of getting
the build failure out of the way, decided to go for simple. If we'd like
to improve the situation, I think the best approach is to use gnulib's
readlink. But given that this appears to be used on Linux systems only,
this work would be purely accademic at this point. So I think the effort
can be defered for now.
