One possible solution would be to have file--truename bound only on
platforms which have the realpath function natively in their libc.
Then files.el could test that with fboundp. I see no reason to
replace a loop in files.el by a loop in Gnulib's realpath emulation,
so we might as well not pretend realpath exists when it doesn't.
