That's odd, as linkat's AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW support was introduced by 
Ulrich Drepper in Linux 2.6.18; I just checked the Linux source code 
repository. Perhaps your glibc is configured to not use the *at kernel 
calls, or maybe you're using an unusual (not x86; or tailored) platform.

It's probably not worth our time spelunking this old kernel. Glad my 
patch fixed things for you. The patch should appear in the next TZDB 
release.
