Question about X build tactics.



Is there a big reason why lndir is not used instead of cp in the build
rules?

For reasons of disk space alone something along the lines of:

        mkdir $(SOURCE_TREE)
        lndir ../../$(SOURCE_TREE)-real $(SOURCE_TREE)/ ifndef NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER
        # create source tree for static, debuggable XFree86 server
        mkdir $(SOURCE_TREE)-xserver-xfree86-dbg
        lndir ../../$(SOURCE_TREE)-real $(SOURCE_TREE)-xserver-xfree86-dbg/

Seems reasonable, are there any catches that I am missing? (Aside from
the minor bootstrapping problem as lndir is part of X.)

the ones that don't apply, now grumbling about disk space while trying
to build .debs)
