That is an open issue that needs to be addressed, but we don't install
the build or source directories now (unless I'm missing something), so
these are links to nowhere at the moment.

We do have a bug open to support on-target module building. I supect
we'll need to add these as part of a headers package or similar. So
these may come back.
