There are three variables that work together for this..
The first ALTERNATIVE_recipe name is the list of alternatives.
The second ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[alternative] = "..." is the name of what we're
about to create. The default is ${bindir}/<alternative>.
The third ALTERNATIVE_TARGET[alternative] = "..." is the name of the link target.
# NOTE: If the ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME and ALTERNATIVE_TARGET are the same,
# ALTERNATIVE_TARGET will have '.{BPN}' appended to it. If the file
# referenced has not been renamed, it will also be renamed. (This avoids
# the need to rename alternative files in the do_install step, but still
# supports it if necessary for some reason.)
So what you want is:
ALTERNATIVE_${PN} = "x-terminal-emulator"
ALTERNATIVE_TARGET[x-terminal-emulator] = "${bindir}/rxvt"
(ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[x-terminal-emulator] will automatically be set to
${bindir}/x-terminal-emulator)
