Pilot error. -L works just fine. Also, it is shorter to use . than "$PWD" (for that matter, GNU find has an implicit . if you don't specify a directory). I think you're asking the wrong question, though - if what you really want is to find all symlinks whose targets are executables, try this: find -P -maxdepth 1 -type l -xtype f -executable - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
