Everywhere I go while assembling my OE build tree, I see admonishments not
to use a path that has symlinks in it. For such a major problem, the only
real information on the actual problem is a fairly cryptic entry in the FAQ,
about a failure to build libtool-native.
Being an intensely curious kind of person, and not enjoying arbitrary
limits, I'm very interested to know what the *real* reason behind being so
strongly against the much-maligned symlink. Can anyone enlighten me?
