Saving space? It is already a hardlink (check the inode numbers).

A solution would be to make a dummy page for built-in commands, and in
this page tell the user to lookup the manpage of the shell he is
using. But there is the problem of collision between built-in commands
and binaries (e.g. time).
So I think Jason's fix is better: drop the MLINKs, and tell the user
to read the manpage of his shell in help(1) (I think that stuff
doesn't belong in afterboot(8)).
