It look like those links are created by /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.
You could try just removing /etc/hosts, /etc/protocols, /etc/services, and
/etc/networks, being careful to delete the symlink and not the target, and
then re-run /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh.done.  After modifying
/etc/fstab, of course.
