Correct I think,  I was using Make built with 2.04 LIBC and as such produced
a new symlink file, but GCC 3.01 was built with 2.03 (with Win 2K patches).
As expected.

In the next few weeks when time permits I will try to build GCC 3.01 with
the 2.04 LIBC and put it on clio. A timeframe for me to do this would be
anywhere between 2 and 3 weeks time.
