If we don't seem to have an ANSI compiler, then omit a warning as soon
as that is discovered, because it is likely to break later configure
tests.  This doesn't seem to catch the particular HP-UX compiler I was
after, which is non-ANSI but only emits a warning on this configure
test.  Nevertheless probably better to have it in.

your platform seems to support ipv6, but actually it breaks.  This

--copy-links.  The readlink_stat() does need to be done in the normal case
before checking the exclude patterns because it needs to know whether or
not a file is a directory in order to properly handle a trailing slash
in an exclude pattern.  This fix makes make_file() go ahead and call
readlink_stat() but then if the latter returns an ENOENT and copy_links is
on then it will only print an error if the path is not excluded.
