What did you do?

% pwd
/Users/matsuyoshi/tmp
% ls -l dst
lrwxr-xr-x  1 matsuyoshi  staff  8  1 19 00:28 dst@ -> /tmp/src
% cat main.go
package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "path/filepath"
)

func main() {
	v, err := filepath.EvalSymlinks("dst")
	fmt.Println(v)
	fmt.Println(err)
}
% go run main.go

What did you expect to see?

/private/tmp/src

What did you see instead?

lstat private: no such file or directory

On macOS, /tmp is a symbolic link to private/tmp, but I think filepath.EvalSymlinks doesn't handle this case when traversing symbolic links.
