PR 19901 avoids the dependency on external "hardlink" command.

In practice, PR 19901 only impacts newly written PYC files, whereas using 
manually the "hardlink" command cannot track which files are not or not. 
"hardlink" command is less practice, PR 19901 avoids modifying PYC files that 
we don't "own".
