Is it really that strange?  I'd assume that X509_CERT_DIR is a
directory as c_rehash builds it, where you have various files
containing just one certificate and symbolic links pointing to these
certificates, which would allow for faster than O(n) access if you
had a file system where directories can be searched in better than
linear time.  You wouldn't want to have a collection of certificates
in a single file in such a directory.
