The man page for access() (on Linux) states:
DESCRIPTION
access() checks whether the calling process can access the file path-
name. If pathname is a symbolic link, it is dereferenced.
...
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
so it should work for symlinks, across all POSIX compliant platforms (even
if the NetBSD and FreeBSD manpages do not mention anything about symlinks,
except ELOOP).
