Allow the super-user to make hard links to directories.
$ ln --help
-d, -F, --directory hard link directories (super-user only)
$ man ln
-d, -F, --directory
hard link directories (super-user only)
Oh great, one spends hours tying to find what is wrong only to
discover,
$ info ln
On all existing implementations, you cannot make a hard link to a
directory, and hard links cannot cross filesystem boundaries. (These
restrictions are not mandated by POSIX, however.)
Therefore, kindly say everywhere you say super-user only,
instead say "few systems, super-user only".
