No. The zsh man path says:
A As `a', but also resolve use of symbolic links where possible.
Note that resolution of `..' occurs before resolution of sym‐
bolic links. This call is equivalent to a unless your system
has the realpath system call (modern systems do).
but Linux doesn't have a realpath system call.
ypig:~> man 2 realpath
No manual entry for realpath in section 2
FYI:
ypig:~> realpath symlink/../vlefevre/symlink
/home/vlefevre
ypig:~> echo symlink/../vlefevre/symlink(:A)
/home/vlefevre/vlefevre/symlink
where symlink is a symbolic link to ".".
