I reworked symlink's error handling so that in my testing I now get
the exact same error messages as on Linux:

  $ rm wqwqwq
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': No such file or directory
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': No such file or directory
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': No such file or directory
  $ touch nowhere
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq': File exists
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': Not a directory
  $ rm nowhere
  $ mkdir nowhere
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq': File exists
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/.
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/.': File exists
  $ ln -sT nowhere wqwqwq/
  ln: creating symbolic link `wqwqwq/': File exists

Can you please check against your testsuite?


Thanks,
Corinna
