Just upgraded to 3.6 from 3.5, and now some of my kernel build scripts are throwing "permission denied" errors. Apparently symlinks are broken somehow? # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),11(floppy),20(dialout),26(tape),27(video) # ls -l /scratch_space/linux drwxr-xr-x 24 nbowler eng 4096 2012-10-03 13:41 /scratch_space/linux # readlink /scratch_space/linux-2.6 linux # cd /scratch_space/linux # pwd /scratch_space/linux # cd /scratch_space/linux-2.6 cd: permission denied: /scratch_space/linux-2.6 WTF? 3.5 is fine. I will try to bisect this later, but I figured I'd throw this out there now in case anyone has any ideas...
