Fixed with "Fix symlinks test case on some architectures" (8d12036047eb6cba16d3ae3f6b43c789d8378462).

This will probably go away once we start using try_tempname instead of gen_tempname:

There's a self test of symlink handling in version 2.7.4 . It's follow-symlink.diff and called as:
patch -f -p1 < follow-symlink.diff || echo "Status: $?"

On GNU/Linux systems it outputs the expected:
patching symbolic link dir/foo
Refusing to follow symbolic link dir/foo
Status: 2

But on kFreeBSD systems it fails with this:
patching symbolic link dir/foo
patch: **** Can't create temporary file dir/foo/bar.ogYeg7q : Too many links
Status: 2
