Description

There are various filesystem test failures on Solaris, all related to symlinks:

TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testDanglingLink:156 expected:<[alanbur]> but was:<[]>
TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testSetTimesSymlinkToDir:233->SymlinkBaseTest.testSetTimesSymlinkToDir:1391 expected:<1447788288000> but was:<3000>
TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testSetTimesSymlinkToFile:227->SymlinkBaseTest.testSetTimesSymlinkToFile:1376 expected:<1447788290000> but was:<3000>
TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testDanglingLink:156 expected:<[alanbur]> but was:<[]>
TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testSetTimesSymlinkToDir:233->SymlinkBaseTest.testSetTimesSymlinkToDir:1391 expected:<1447788416000> but was:<3000>
TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testSetTimesSymlinkToFile:227->SymlinkBaseTest.testSetTimesSymlinkToFile:1376 expected:<1447788417000> but was:<3000>

I'm not sure what the root cause is, most likely Linux-specific assumptions about how symlinks behave. Further investigation needed.
