Comment (by DanHam):

 OK. Reading through that ticket, only the actual binary under
 /opt/local/bin should have been renamed to gnucut to fix #55327. The
 symlink itself should only have been updated to point to the newly named
 binary and should not have been renamed.

 In other words, after the fix for #55327, we should of had:

 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/gnucut
 }}}

 and a symlink of:

 {{{
 /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/cut -> /opt/local/bin/gnucut
 }}}

 This would have allowed the 'invisible' change alluded to in #55327 and
 retained the promised behaviour of using the GNU version of cut for those
 with /opt/local/libexec/gnubin at the head of their $PATH.
