realpath bug in glibc?

gcc/ada/cstreams.c in GCC has

  /* Use realpath function which resolves links and references to . and ..
     on those Unix systems that support it. Note that GNU/Linux provides it but
     cannot handle more than 5 symbolic links in a full name, so we use the
     getcwd approach instead. */

It is hard for me to believe.  Is this statement false?
