Oh, thanks, now I can stop scratching my head while trying to find my
way around unzip's source and its amazing OS compatibility code.

On Windows (the main target for ZIP file support in git archive), 7-Zip,
the unzip from msysgit and the native ZIP support extract the archive
without any issues (except for 13 files whose names only differ
upper/lower case of some chars to 13 other files), by the way.  Since
they lack symlink support, the target path of
arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts is simply written to a regular file,
though.
