This isn't even the worst possibility. The ones I find harder to find
and solve are when the fact that make-symbolic-link is fboundp is
taken as an indication that some other symlink-related feature is
available. For example, that an `ln' command is available and can be
invoked.
(I'm not saying that Emacs actually has such code; I simply don't know.
But I've seen this too many times to assume it cannot happen.)
