man chmod says:
chmod never changes the permissions of symbolic links; the
chmod system call cannot change their permissions. This
is not a problem since the permissions of symbolic links
are never used. However, for each symbolic link listed on
the command line, chmod changes the permissions of the
pointed-to file. In contrast, chmod ignores symbolic
links encountered during recursive directory traversals.
