Yes.
I've just dealt with it on the upstream trunk:
2006-06-03 Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Make `cp --link --no-dereference' work also on systems where the
link system call cannot create a hard link to a symbolic link.
* src/copy.c (copy_internal) [LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINKS]: Don't use
the link syscall on a symlink when it would do the wrong thing.
Based on the patch by Aurelien Jarno: <http://bugs.debian.org/329451>
* tests/cp/link-no-deref: New file/test for the above.
* tests/cp/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add link-no-deref.
* NEWS: Mention the change (doesn't affect Linux).
I have just test the CVS version, and it works well on GNU/kFreeBSD.
Thanks a lot!
