I've checked on 9.0-RC2 and the link is there, but my installs were upgraded from 8.2-RELEASE, so you may have a point there.

If it happens that 9.0 installs into /compat, we should either add this to the documentation or file a PR so that either the linux_base package or bsdinstall creates the link. But from the current PR it seems the OP was using 8.2-RELEASE which should not exhibit this.
