I confirm that it works fine:
* On NetBSD 7.0, configure finds that
checking whether rename manages hard links correctly... yes
and so REPLACE_RENAME = 0 and REPLACE_RENAMEAT = 0.
And the rename/renameat tests pass.
* On Cygwin 1.5.25, configure find that
checking whether rename manages hard links correctly... no
(because the test program exited with code 8),
and so REPLACE_RENAME = 1 and HAVE_RENAMEAT = 0.
And the rename/renameat tests pass.

But the test program does not call stat(), nor does it test st_nlink.
Still confused...
