Busybox 1.10.2.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
ls -l /bin/ls; ls -s /bin/ls

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
- Using GNU ls:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Dec 12 17:56 /bin/ls -> busybox
0 /bin/ls

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
- Using Busybox ls:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Dec 12 17:56 /bin/ls -> busybox
 311 /bin/ls

311 is the size of Busybox, not of the "ls" symlink:
# ls -l /bin/busybox; ls -s /bin/busybox                        
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       318468 Dec 12 16:44 /bin/busybox            
 311 /bin/busybox 

I.e. Busybox de-references the file before checking its size, unlike GNU tools.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
- always
