The zic(8) man page, which serves as documentation for the format
of the input files, says:
The LINK-FROM field should appear as the NAME field in some
zone line.
To me, this means that a Link should not point to another Link,
but should point to a Zone. This combination of links would
appear to violate that requirement:
Zone Africa/Nairobi ...
Link Africa/Nairobi Africa/Asmara
Link Africa/Asmara Africa/Asmera
