I haven't tried symbolic links under 2.9 myself (I've only gotten
as far as building a stock 2.9 pack, but we're not using it yet), but the
following hints were given at the 2.9BSD BOF session at the Utah
USENIX conference in regards to symbolic links:

1) in sys/sysset.c, there are some #ifdef's for symbolic links that
are coupled with the ifdef's for UCBNET. If you are not using the net
stuff, you need to separate these out.

2) src/cmd/ln.c and ls.c should be recompiled.

3) In fsck, symbolic links are defined as SPECIAL; this is wrong - remove
it.

I hope these are of help.
