This is due to a known bug in the version of DJGPP with which the
ported Fileutils 3.16 were compiled: simulated symlinks didn't work
when the target of the symlink (ginstall.exe in this case) had exactly
8 characters in its name before the dot.

As a work-around, use this:

   make install INSTALL=ginstall

I'm assuming that the Makefile supplied with YAMD has a variable
INSTALL which is set to "install"; the above command overrides that.
If the above doesn't work, simply edit the Makefile and replace
"install" by "ginstall" manually.
