Hello,

checking coreutils 8.24, running on NFS, the test 'ls/stat-failed' fails (log 
attached).

If I understand correctly,
The test creates a symlink to a directory then removes execute permissions:
   mkdir d
   ln -s / d/s
   chmod 600 d

Then tries to dereference it:
    $ ls -Log d
    ls: cannot access d/s: Permission denied
    total 0
    d????????? ? ?            ? s

The test expect 's' to have 'l' type, on my system it is 'd'.

The attached patch avoids the failure, though I don't know if this is correct 
or not (perhaps this failure should not be avoided?).

The system is:
    $ uname -a
    Linux XXX 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    $ gcc --version
     gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)

The file system is NFS.


regards,
 - assaf
