I got this error message while trying to configure sh-utils from another
drive.

----
creating tests/test/Makefile
creating config.h
linking d:/prj/shutils/gnu/sh-util2.0g/intl/libgettext.h to intl/libintl.h
d:/djgpp/bin/ln: cannot create hard link `intl/libintl.h' to `d:/prj/shutils/gnu/sh-util2.0g/intl/libgettext.h': Improper link (EXDEV)
configure: error: cannot link intl/libintl.h to d:/prj/shutils/gnu/sh-util2.0g/intl/libgettext.h

Trying ln d:/prj/shutils/gnu/sh-util2.0g/intl/libgettext.h intl/libintl.h
manually, I got the same error. In fact, that was what the configure script
was trying to do.

Possibly, there's a bug in ln?
