Ok.. After further digging here's what I find.
So symlinks work. I ran cat on the file and found that it was working
perfectly. Thanks to everyone for the posts.
However, when Metawares hcppc runs it doesn't deal with the symlink
created! DUH!
So.. I just wanted to let everyone else know what I found. I was thinking
that Make was the problem but it wasn't.
I will send something to Metaware to see if they will fix this (yeah right!,
won't hold my breath for that one.) In the meantime, it's delete and copy
for me.
