From: Jacob Burckhardt via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors @ 2023-06-15 22:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: 64102

Reproduce the bug by running this:

mkdir -p /tmp/usr2/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12
mkdir /tmp/usr2/include
echo symbolic link test > /tmp/usr2/include/test.h
\ln -s usr2/lib /tmp/lib2
cat /tmp/lib2/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/../../../../include/test.h
emacs -q /tmp/lib2/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/../../../../include/test.h

Emacs failed to display the content of that file in a buffer.  Since the above cat command shows the contents, Emacs should be able to show it as well.  The following bug is similar and includes some explanations that also apply to my bug.

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8035

Note that the following code succeeds.  You might consider using code like this to fix the bug:

(find-file (file-truename "/tmp/lib2/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/../../../../include/test.h"))
