This is not right. cygwin symlink needs 'SYSTEM' attribute.
So it does not work in file system which does not support
that attributes. Windows file system, such as NTFS, FAT,
supports it.

Basically, linux file system does not support 'SYSTEM'
attribute, but samba support it using extended attributes
if 'store dos attributes' is set to 'yes' (by default since
samba 4.9).
