Subject: More about symlinks
Reply-To: djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com

In makefile for fileutils it is written (just example, there
are more places like this):

rmdir: $(rmdir_OBJECTS) $(rmdir_DEPENDENCIES) ln
        $(LINK) $(rmdir_LDFLAGS) $(rmdir_OBJECTS) $(rmdir_LDADD) $(LIBS)
        ./ln -s $@ grmdir
        stubedit grmdir.exe argv0=rmdir

It will be broken with new .exe symlink code - guess which file stubedit
will update.

So my questions are:
1) Are there places like above in other GNU code ported to DJGPP?
2) Is it acceptable solution for symlink() generate _both_ foo, which
is the real symlink and foo.exe, which is good ol' DJGPP .exe symlink?
