Perhaps at some point Emacs should just use Gnulib here, but for now it's safer to migrate a bit more of Gnulib into Emacs to avoid this regression.  I reproduced the problem on Fedora 20 by building an Emacs that was crippled to not use readlinkat etc., and installed a patch that worked for me as emacs-24 bzr 117437 (simplified in 117438).

Confirmed OK on OSX as well.
