Are you sure this is where the problem is?
Not any longer - I tried it again with
u.u_dirp.l = (caddr_t)(((long)uap->linkname) & 0x7F00FFFF);
and it seems to work now - no idea what went wrong the last time
I tried it.

I still have direct modification of rr2 and not the copy to rr4,
so if I would aim for binary equalness it is still not the same,
but it seems that it can't be done another way.
