Status of using symlinked node_modules?

[tgunnoe]

Hi,
I could not find out whether having symlinked node_modules ever worked in the current state or a previous one.
This issue #4057 tends to suggest that the issue was fixed in #5222 (around release v1.2.217). However, I've tried both this version and the latest one to no avail.

Am I missing a setting possibly? Or issue #4057 seems to suggest it still doesn't work maybe.

For context, this is for building node modules reproducibly and granularly with nix, and it makes heavy use of symlinks. The only work around is to copy a node_modules scope to your project before swc is used.

Thanks
