In the 'ln source... directory' synopsis, the basename of each source
determines the name of the created link. Determine this using basename(3)
instead of strrchr(..., '/') which is incorrect if the pathname ends in a
slash.
The patch is somewhat changed to allow for basename(3) implementations that
change the passed pathname, and to fix the -w option's checking also.
The code to compare directory entries only applies to hard links, which
cannot be created to directories using ln.
Example:
ln -s /etc/defaults/ /tmp
This should create a symlink named defaults.

Two pathnames refer to the same directory entry iff the directories match
and the final components' names match.
Example: (assuming file1 is an existing file)
ln -f file1 file1
This now fails while leaving file1 intact. It used to delete file1 and then
complain it cannot be linked because it is gone.
With -i, this error is detected before the question is asked.

Unset PWD if it is incorrect and no value for it can be determined.
This preserves the logical current directory across shell invocations.
Example (assuming /home is a symlink):
$ cd
$ pwd
/home/foo
$ sh
$ pwd
/home/foo
Formerly the second pwd would show the physical path (symlinks resolved).
Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering
most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.

These do pretty much nothing (except that parentheses are ignored), but
people seem to use them and allowing them does not hurt much.
Single-quotes seem not to be used and cause silently different behaviour
with ksh93 character constants.
This makes sh a bit more friendly in single user mode, make buildenv, chroot
and the like, and matches other shells.
The -o emacs can be overridden on the command line or in the ENV file.
Note that the following sentence

is now true, but used to be incorrect.
This applies to word in ${v-word}, ${v+word}, ${v=word}, ${v?word} (which
inherits quoting from the outside) and in ${v%word}, ${v%%word}, ${v#word},
${v##word} (which does not inherit any quoting).
In all cases tilde expansion is only attempted at the start of word, even if
word contains spaces. This agrees with POSIX and other shells.
This is the last part of the patch tested in the exp-run.

Note that this depends on r206145 for allowing pattern match characters to
have their special meaning inside a double-quoted expansion like "${v%pat}".

They will be treated like normal characters, resulting in a runtime

* remove the backslash from \} inside double quotes inside +-=?
substitutions, e.g. "${$+\}a}"
* maintain separate double-quote state for ${v#...} and ${v%...};
single and double quotes are special inside, even in a double-quoted
string or here document
* keep track of correct order of substitutions and arithmetic
This is different from dash's approach, which does not track individual
double quotes in the parser, trying to fix this up during expansion.
This treats single quotes inside "${v#...}" incorrectly, however.
This is similar to NetBSD's approach (as submitted in PR bin/57554), but
recognizes the difference between +-=? and #% substitutions hinted at in
POSIX and is more refined for arithmetic expansion and here documents.

The old approach was wrong because PS2 was not used and seems unlikely to
parse extensions (ksh93's ${ COMMAND} may well fail to parse).

Redirection errors on subshells already did not abort the shell because
the redirection is executed in the subshell.
Other shells seem to agree that these redirection errors should not abort
the shell.
Also ensure that the redirections will be cleaned up properly in cases like
command eval '{ shift x; } 2>/dev/null'
Example:
{ echo bad; } </var/empty/x; echo good
Although simple commands without a command word (only assignments and/or
redirections) are much like special builtins, POSIX and most shells seem to
agree that redirection errors should not abort the shell in this case. Of
course, the assignments persist and assignment errors are fatal.
To get the old behaviour portably, use the ':' special builtin.
To get the new behaviour portably, given that there are no assignments, use
the 'true' regular builtin.
Make parsebackq a function instead of an emulated nested function.
This puts the setjmp usage in a smaller function where it is easier to avoid
bad optimizations.
* avoid unnecessary fork
* allow executing builtins via command
* executing a special builtin via command removes its special properties

Although argc and argv are never read after the longjmp is complete,
gcc is not clever enough to see that and needlessly warns about it.
So add volatile to silence the compiler.

- correctly handle error output in $(builtin 2>&1), clarify out1/out2 vs
output/errout in the code
- treat all builtins as regular builtins so errors do not abort the shell
and variable assignments do not persist
- respect the caller's INTOFF
Some bugs still exist:
- expansion errors may still abort the shell
- some side effects of expansions and builtins persist
