Sorry if you get multiple copies of this.
The test for this is failing on solaris 10 (NFS)
It does seem that hardlinks to symlinks are supported:
$ touch tfile
$ ln -s tfile tlink
$ src/ln -L tlink tlink-ln-L
$ src/ln -P tlink tlink-ln-P
$ src/ln tlink tlink-ln
$ ls -li tfile tlink*
8550 -rw-r--r-- 3 padraig csw 0 Dec 9 01:18 tfile
8551 lrwxrwxrwx 2 padraig csw 5 Dec 9 01:19 tlink -> tfile
8550 -rw-r--r-- 3 padraig csw 0 Dec 9 01:18 tlink-ln
8550 -rw-r--r-- 3 padraig csw 0 Dec 9 01:18 tlink-ln-L
8551 lrwxrwxrwx 2 padraig csw 5 Dec 9 01:19 tlink-ln-P ->
tfile
But we have linkat() emulation in place I think:
$ grep LINK lib/config.h
/* #undef CHOWN_MODIFIES_SYMLINK */
#define GNULIB_AREADLINKAT 1
#define GNULIB_TEST_LINK 1

/* #undef READLINK_TRAILING_SLASH_BUG */
/* #undef RENAME_HARD_LINK_BUG */
/* #undef UNLINK_CANNOT_UNLINK_DIR */

I've attached the verbose log for the test,
as I've not time to look into it at present.
thanks,
