Details:
$ touch file
$ ln -s nowhere broken
$ ln -s file/nowhere notdir
$ find -L
.
./file
./broken
find: ‘./notdir’: Not a directory
./notdir
So we get an error message if a link is broken in one way but not another.
Worse,
$ find -L broken
broken
$ find -L notdir
find: ‘notdir’: Not a directory
So at the top level, notdir is not even printed. Same with -H.
