A symlink doens't actually solve the problem of keeping program state files
in /etc. Luckily the patch to fix both these programs isn't very complex at
all. See the suite of patches for base-files, mount, util-linux, sysvinit,
and pam (in approxmately that order) at http://spacepants.org/src/patches
Packages with these patches (source, powerpc) are available at
