link(dir,name) should fail with EPERM


From: Eric Blake
Subject: link(dir,name) should fail with EPERM

User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101209 Fedora/3.1.7-0.35.b3pre.fc14 Lightning/1.0b3pre Mnenhy/0.8.3 Thunderbird/3.1.7

POSIX states that this should fail with EPERM, not EISDIR:

$ mkdir d
$ link d c

This was detected by the gnulib testsuite; I've since updated that
testsuite to tolerate Hurd's current behavior, but it might be worth
updating link(2) to comply with the standard.
