ls still seems to do the wrong thing for symlinks without targets:

    $ ls -l /etc/malloc.conf
    ls: /etc/malloc.conf: No such file or directory
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  2 Jun 29 00:36 /etc/malloc.conf -> aj

The RELENG_4 ls run on -current works like I expect:

    $ /d/tmp/ls/ls -l /etc/malloc.conf
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  2 Jun 29 00:36 /etc/malloc.conf -> aj

The spurious warning is printed by aclmode() after pathconf() fails.
pathconf() follows symlinks so it cannot work correctly here unless
ls is following symlinks.
