-	* src/ln.c (XSTAT_THAT_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS_THE_WAY_LINK_DOES): Define.
-	(do_link): Use XSTAT_THAT_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS_THE_WAY_LINK_DOES, rather
-	than bare `stat'.
+	Allow hard links to symlinks on systems that support it.
+	* src/ln.c (STAT_LIKE_LINK): Define.
+	(do_link): Use STAT_LIKE_LINK, rather than bare `stat', and perform
+	the extra lstat only on systems where LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS.
 
 	* src/ls.c (long_options): Correct typo (s/'F'/'p'/) so that `-p' is
 	accepted as the short form of --file-type, per the documentation.
