When called as "link" (not currently installed that way) always simply
...
do a link(2) sys call, never use the internal linkit() routine, which
allows for a destination directory and installs the link inside (and more.)
This makes ln's "link" variant comply with its (currently commented out)
section if its manual page, and also makes it identical to /usr/sbin/link.

While a hard link to a symbolic link is not ruled out by POSIX-2001,

function on its operands, which includes the resolution of symbolic
links in source_file arguments.
