Yes, I think this is intentional.

The autoconf.texi text (the part that describes `ln' limitations, not
the one that describes AC_PROG_LN_S) suggests that it won't succeed.

Only if `ln a b' also seems to work but is in fact broken.
I'd guess that won't work there, though.

If `ln -s file dir' succeeds on DJGPP < 2.04, your patch presents a
regression, as then it will wongly select `ln -s' there.
