Well, under FreeBSD linkat() will hardlink symlinks, i.e. instead of:
link(source, target);
use:
linkat(AT_FDCWD, source, AT_FDCWD, target, 0);
I patched my copy of rsync to use that and it worked when copying files, but
not when using --dry-run (still printed errors / hung).
So that's part of it, at least. I plan on digging into it further when I have a
chance.
