	 * matches SunOS 4.x and other BSD based implementations.
	 * However, the SVR4 merge apparently introduced the change
	 * that allowed link(src, dest) when "src" was a symbolic link,
	 * to create "dest" as a hard link to "src".  Hence, the link
	 * count of the symbolic link is updated rather than the target
	 * of the symbolic link. This latter behavior remains for
	 * non-XPG4 based environments. For a more detailed discussion,
	 * see bug 1256170.
