In cygwin 1.5, symlink("a",d) correctly failed with EEXIST regardless of
whether d was "dir", "dir/", or "dir/.". But in 1.7, it is failing with ENOENT
for just "dir/", and failing a gnulib test as a result. STC:
$ mkdir dir
$ ln -sT nowhere dir/.
ln: creating symbolic link `dir/.': File exists
$ ln -sT nowhere dir/
ln: creating symbolic link `dir/': No such file or directory
