Patch for syscall.c

Hi!

Using rsync under FreeBSD with hard links and files having schg set result in EPERM "Operation not permitted". This behavior can be observed if rsyncing /usr/bin/.

The patch fileflags.diff tries to deal with this situation but changes the flags of the parent directory only. It doesn't change the flags of the files itself.

do_link() in syscall.c has to be fixed. patch-syscall.c.txt is a patch which have the be applied after fileflags.diff.

Best regards
Franz
