Actually, isn't ENAMETOOLONG in the same category as ELOOP? That is,
ENAMETOOLONG sometimes indicates the file isn't there, but sometimes
not. For example,
rm -f ./././././././.../foo
(where the "..." stands for lots of "./"s) will fail due to
ENAMETOOLONG, even though the named file actually does exist.
