Something weird happened to us and I have no idea how to reproduce it.
A developer managed to create a git commit with the following content:

diff --git a/foo b/foo
new file mode 160000
index 000000000000..b7e7816c1266
--- /dev/null
+++ b/foo

@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+one line of content

File name and content obfuscated, the rest is verbatim from the git
commit.

Now, file mode 160000 doesn't make sense to me.

0160000 is S_IFLNK in MiNT
<https://github.com/freemint/freemint/blob/master/sys/mint/stat.h>.

Yeek.  That sounds like a ticking time-bomb.

configure can detect that (NEEDS_MODE_TRANSLATION).

Andreas.
