+Gnulib module: symlinkat
+
+Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function is missing on some platforms:
+glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8,
+AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
+But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
+@item
+Some platforms declare this function in @code{stdio.h} instead of
+@code{unistd.h}:
+Cygwin 1.7.1.
+@end itemize
+
+Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
+@itemize
+@item
+This function always fails with @samp{ENOSYS} on platforms that don't
+support symlinks:
+mingw, MSVC 9.
