The test, tests/tail/f-1, failed on powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0.
(IS_TAILABLE_FILE_TYPE): Adjust definition also to include sockets, since that's what you get when reading from a command-line- supplied pipe on Darwin 7.7. (IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE): Define. (main): Use new IS_PIPE_LIKE_FILE_TYPE rather than simply S_ISFIFO. This same change is also required on NetBSD/sparc-1.5. Reported by Adrian Bunk.
