I've never seen this error before, but it does not look serious.

I believe that Suexec will refuse to run a cgi program that is suid. If 
you are sure that the link program will get run as interch via Suexec you 
should be able to:

chmod u-s /path/to/your/link.cgi

You can check if this is actually happening by examining you Apache error 
logs.
