+       tests: readlink* ("",... fails with EINVAL on newer kernels
+       readlink and readlinkat have typically failed with ENOENT for
+       the invalid, empty file name,  "".  However, with the advent
+       of linux-2.6.39, they fail with EINVAL.
+       * tests/test-areadlink.h (test_areadlink): Also accept EINVAL
+       when operating on the empty file name.
+       * tests/test-readlink.h (test_readlink): Likewise.
