cannot read symbolic link, Invalid argument

Hello, I run a Gentoo hardened mail server. After an upgrade
this
morning, some problems appeared.

Code:

atreides ~ # ls -l /usr/src/
ls: cannot read symbolic link /usr/src/linux: Invalid
argument
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   25 Jul 26 18:34 linux
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jul 26 18:27
linux-2.6.20-hardened-r5


I don't think it's a filesystem problem, because the /boot
partition
uses a different file system than the /usr and the problem
also
happens when I try to list its contents.

The symlinks are working, but I cannot list them and there
is the
"Invalid Argument" error. Dunno what to do.

Solved. After reinstalling coreutils, the system can handle
symlinks.
