Would you be happy with a pair of patches where the first blocks chmod
of symlinks in chmod_common and the second adds the syscall with
flags? I think this is a clearly understandable fix, but it does
eliminate the ability to *fix* link access modes that have been set to
ridiculous values (note: I don't think it really matters since the
modes don't do anything anyway) in the past.

I'd be much happier with that, yes.
