sorry, I forgot to include bug-gnulib, sending again ...

This change leads leads to a FP syntax-check failure:

  $ make syntax-check
  ...
  prohibit_same_without_use
  src/ln.c
  maint.mk: the above files include same.h but don't use it
  make: *** [maint.mk:575: sc_prohibit_same_without_use] Error 1

The attached gnulib patch fixes the SC rule - pls. check.

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
