Yes. Here.
A short log of the build break would be nice.

From git's cache.h:
/*
* A "directory link" is a link to another git directory.
*
* The value 0160000 is not normally a valid mode, and
* also just happens to be S_IFDIR + S_IFLNK
*
* NOTE! We *really* shouldn't depend on the S_IFxxx macros
* always having the same values everywhere. We should use
* our internal git values for these things, and then we can
* translate that to the OS-specific value. It just so
* happens that everybody shares the same bit representation
* in the UNIX world (and apparently wider too..)
*/
Time to implement that translation :|
