This was during the “removing unused link” phase, right?

What does “uname -r” return?
This is most likely an issue with the ancient kernel being used.
It would be nice if you could try running a C program that does
something like this:
struct statx st;
if (statx(AT_FDCWD, "/",
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW | AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC,
STATX_SIZE | STATX_NLINK, &st) == -1)
printf ("failed: %m\n");
It should fail similarly. Then you can try commenting out
AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC and see whether it fails.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,
Ludo’.
