That's because "ln -s" only works on executable files, and only if
the source and destination are in the same directory.
You need to replace "ln" with "cp", somehow. If the configure script
defines and uses LN_S, then say "LN_S='cp -p'" in config.site.
Otherwise, add a suitable line to the Sed script which edits the
configure script before it is run.
