Is there a way to create a Symbolic link from a C++ program without using a system call. Program runs with chmod +s as a privileged user on linux. System call will not honor the chmod +s and executes as the user not the privileged user that owns the program. Don't want to grant permissions to everyone.

Of course you can create symbolic links. You will need to do so using a platform specific call but the GNU documentation should get you where you need to go.
Google tells me that in #include <unistd.h> there is
int symlink (const char *oldname, const char *newname)
Documentation here
Should not be too hard to figure out.
