[boost] [filesystem] create_directories fails on exFat formatted disk under Windows

Using an exFat formatted disk with Windows. Start with a path: e:\tmp Call filesystem::create_directories("e:\\tmp\\boost") This should succeed, creating the boost folder in e:\tmp. It fails with boost 1.79.0. It tries to create e:\tmp which already exists. In boost 1.78.0 this works as expected. I believe the root cause is the change to status(...). It calls detail::symlink_status(...) which calls GetFileInformationByHandleEx which (at least for the params used in filesystem) doesn't work on exFat formatted disks. Chris.
