My references clearly say that symlinks is not a Posix feature.

The fact that symlink.c is under posix is probably due to some
oversight, but the subdirectory is not a good evidence whether a
function is Posix or not (e.g., we have some non-Posix functions in
posix/sys/stat).  The place in the header files is a much better
evidence.

Personally, I don't think it's justified to move the files under
compat at this stage.
