I'm not saying this patch is bad, but my first thought is to be very
careful using readlink and/or realpath.  They're very inconsistently
implemented across platforms.  Even on Linux it's difficult to depend
on them as some distros use the GNU coreutils version and some don't.
OSX uses a BSD flavor that has different flags.
