Would you mind submitting a patch so that we can support these

I don't feel comfortable to submit patches for tests I can't verify. I
don't have valgrind and python/p4 here. Looking to the code I'd say,
patching the p4 tests with "ls -ld | sed" looks quite save.
But I'm not sure about the test-lib.sh. When you are really super
paranoid, as written in the comment, you should probably use perl like
perl -e 'print readlink $ARGV[0]' $name
as a replacement.
So, as suggested by Junio, here the readlink workaround for t7800 only.
(hopefully whitespace clean this time)

Subject: t7800: readlink is not portable
The readlink(1) command is not available on all platforms (notably not
on AIX and HP-UX) and can be replaced in this test with the "workaround"
ls -ld <name> | sed -e 's/.* -> //'
This is no universal readlink replacement but works in the controlled
test environment good enough.

I don't know how portable #ls -ld" really is.
If there is one platform, that doesn't support readlink, would it
make sense to implement readlink() in test-lib.sh,
similar to what we have for MINGW, e.g. sort() or find() ?
And keep t7800 as it is ?
