A compilation option, does not break any promise to script writers.
The default build still has hard links.

A compilation option, such as "make NO_BUILTINS=1" would merely give users the choice to build without the hard links; an option they do _not_ have currently.

Seeing how there already is

NO_GETTEXT NO_OPENSSL NO_TCLTK

and so on, I dont see this as being a big issue to add.
