Hm... Perhaps these two changes should be split? Although the
implementation is the same, they are pretty much unrelated... Not sure
it's worth the trouble though. (Especially as it would actually require
three patches -- one for the common symlink handling part, and two for
the individual nodes.)

Regardless of that, I think you should split off the change from heap to
stack allocation into an extra patch. I assume it fixes a memory leak,
and that's certainly a good thing; but it's unrelated to the actual
changes you need here...
