"More compatible" is a too general allegation. In this particular case 
(FFmpeg) LN_S is only used to create 'avcodec.dll` from `avcode56.dll` 
and alike which is completely unneeded on OS/2 (so symlinking doesn't 
harm but saves some time & disk space). And more over, symlinks work 
well in most cases in a proper OS/2 environment these days. So I think 
they should be generally enabled unless there is a specific case when 
they introduce a real incompatibility. FFmpeg is not such a case.
