If I try to compile using the CVS source of today, I get executables
that crashes quickly or hangs.

This is unrelated to my djasm.y patch as the problem is there without
that change. It seems to be related to symlinks.

It's hard to give any crash dump as the computer locks up or
reboot. Just use the latest CVS source and try to compile fileutils
3.16. At the stage where the build process invokes "ln -s <something>
<something_else>" (Perhaps <something> and <something_else> were
install and ginstall.) the trouble hits us.


Right,
