Isn't the problem which you described in the "not fixed

test in m4/rename.m4 ? Both are about hard links to the same file, no?

Yes and no. Sorry, I had forgotten about that test. As its comment says, it attempts to detect a bug with rename("a","b") setting st_nlink incorrectly when "a" and "b" are hard links to the same file. This bug is somewhat independent of the issue we're talking about.

That test is too strict, as it rejects the NetBSD 7 behavior. I installed the attached, to try to fix this.
