This:
find . -type l -print | xargs ls -l
might be faster, since it doesn't require a fork/exec for each
symlink (to be honest, I don't actually know how "find -ls" is
implemented; there may not be any improvement if, like xargs,
it batches them up).
This is a modification of my standard trick for getting an ls -l
with directories:
find . -print | xargs ls -ld
(The -d is crucial! Why is left as an exercise for the reader :-)

Quite possibly because it wasn't there before, or on the system
whose man page you were reading last time, etc. The core
functionality is pretty standard, but people (especially GNU)
extend it in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways...

so I'm naturally skeptical.
