+ Unfortunately, Solaris 9 is one of the platforms where the

+ cripple this behavior on real directories, even if it is
+ seldom needed (at any rate, it's nicer to let coreutils'
+ unlink(1) give the correct errno for non-root users). But we
+ don't know whether name was an actual directory, or a symlink
+ to a directory; and due to the bug of ignoring trailing
+ slash, Solaris 9 would end up successfully unlinking the
+ symlink instead of the directory. Technically, we could use
+ realpath to find the canonical directory name to attempt
+ deletion on. But that is a lot of work for a corner case; so
+ we instead just use an lstat on the shortened name, and
+ reject symlinks with trailing slashes. The root user of
