filesystems windows coreutils util-linux msys

                          On Msys2 env.:

    $ cd /c/msys64/mingw64/lib/
    $ ln -s libz.dll.a libzlib.dll.a

But confusingly why

    ln 

command did copy
instead of linking it symbolically ?

    $ ls -l libz*
    -rw-r--r-- 1 abdu None 108700 Jan 23  2024 libz.a
    -rw-r--r-- 1 abdu None 65914 Jan 23  2024 libz.dll.a
    -rw-r--r-- 1 abdu None 65914 Jan 23  2024 libzlib.dll.a
    -rw-r--r-- 1 abdu None 2298 Dec 13 03:15 libzoneoc.a

Please one help out of confusion to solution
