There are reports that the BSD version of touch has a -h option which will make it update the timestamp of a symlink rather than the target of that symlink. As it is, there's no way to update the timestamp on a symlink itself.
Consider upgrading. 'touch -h' support was added in coreutils 8.1; the latest stable version is 8.5.
Meanwhile, 'touch -h' requires a new enough kernel (one that has full utimensat support).
