MAKE does not recognize symbolic links after applying patch

["Jim Breaux" <jim dot breaux at vialogy dot com>]

Hello,

I am using MAKE 3.80 (for various reasons I cannot upgrade to 3.81 yet).  I
recently encountered the bug described here:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg01659.html

I applied the recommended patch to the source code and rebuilt MAKE.  It
seems to be working fine EXCEPT that it no longer recognizes symbolic links
(e.g., if I call 'make <name of symbolic link>' it acts as if the file does
not exist when in fact it does exist).  The unpatched version of MAKE has no
problem recognizing symbolic links.  Has anyone seen this kind of behavior
before?

Thanks,

Jim
