Yeah, that's what configure is testing for -- that link() doesn't work
right with symlinks (it affects the referent instead).  The latest rsync
code should handle the case where CAN_HARDLINK_SYMLINK isn't set, so you
should be able to leave it undefined and use the latest code.  If there is
some link() function somewhere on solaris that works properly with
symlinks, then you should experiment with link options and see if you can
find it.
