16 # The Hurd, the Linux kernel, the FreeBSD kernel version 2.2 and later,
17 # Cygwin, and mingw never let anyone (even root) unlink directories.
18 # If anyone knows of another system for which unlink can never
19 # remove a directory, please report it to <bug-coreutils@gnu.org>.
20 # Unfortunately this is difficult to test for, since it requires root access
21 # and might create garbage in the file system,
22 # so the code below simply relies on the kernel name and version number.
