Nl is abbreviation for Number of links. Search MC's man page for 'nlink'.

It is not user configurable option. It should just work. If numbers do not
show there I guess it's due to some bug. Most likely it is a bug in the
UTF8-ized MC distributed by some vendors. I suggest you to file a bug
report in the bug tracking system dedicated to  your distribution.
