Unlike other filesystem objects, symbolic links do not have an owner,
  group, access mode, times, etc.  Instead, these attributes are taken from
  the directory that contains the link.  The only attributes returned from
  an lstat() that refer to the symbolic link itself are the file type
  (S_IFLNK), size, blocks, and link count (always 1).

This is bogus, and disagrees with the implementation and symlink(7).

Removed it.
