That's not here on current.

PROG= sysctl
MAN8= sysctl.8
BINDIR= /sbin
NOSHARED?= yes
.include <bsd.prog.mk>
Quite why that's under /usr/src/usr.sbin instead of /usr/src/sbin I
don't know, perhaps someone would care to explain.
Besides, doesn't LINKS= create hard links? That's not much help when
/sbin and /usr/sbin are different filesystems, so your symlink solution
seems better.
