```
The following makes git build on my instance of Engarde Linux 1.x

The definition of S_IFLNK and S_ISLNK seems to be mising in the headers,
but a simple test showed that the correct value for it is still 0120000,
same as on more modern systems.

With this patch, git built with 
$make NO_CURL=1 NO_SYMLINK_HEAD=1 NO_PYTHON=1
seems to work with no issues so far (more than a week now).

Make git build on Engarde Linux 1.x (which is missing
the definition for S_IFLNK/S_ISLNK)
