I committed a change to the git repo that eliminates the '-r' option from the ln command invoked when building the 'symlinks' target, so that should be FreeBSD compatibile now.

No, I don't think FreeBSD has anything to do with. We've had plenty of FreeBSD sysops and noone has ever reported that issue with 'cntnodes' before. I've searched through the repo and there isn't a single reference to cntnodes (that 'grep -ri' can find). Something else is going on there that has nothing to do with it being a FreeBSD system.
