This is actually a nice suggestion, as it is simple to try out. However, it
doesn't work, the link() call fails with

EXDEV: Cross-device link

This might be because the chroot's target directory is an nullfs mount. Am
I right that it isn't possible to create hard links that span nullfs mount
points?
