+Subject: [PATCH] tar: port --overwrite symlink test to GNU/Hurd
+
+Problem reported by Pino Toscano in
+<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2012-01/msg00040.html>.
+* gnulib.modules: Add fcntl-h, which defines
+HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW.
+* src/extract.c (open_output_file): Use HAVE_WORKING_O_NOFOLLOW,
+not O_NOFOLLOW, when testing whther O_NOFOLLOW works.
+
+This file is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the actual ChangeLog
+by make dist. Run make ChangeLog if you wish to create it earlier.
