Would it?

I don't know, but I added them by installing the attached patch.


in my test:
   diff --recursive <rel-dir-1> <rel-dir-2>

does not work.

What are the failure symptoms?

Is this something you can debug? I don't use MS-Windows and won't be of much help on that platform. My guess would be in the fdopendir area; perhaps that guess will help you debug.

A few minutes ago I also installed a patch that causes diff -r to use readlinkat instead of readlink, so you might need to add that to your list of things to look at.
