Hmm. I'm not seeing the problem.
Using busybox:
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ./busybox touch foo
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ./busybox ln -s foo symlink
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ./busybox ls -l foo symlink
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 1000 0 Nov 7 21:15 foo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 1000 1000 3 Nov 7 21:15 symlink -> foo
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ./busybox rm symlink
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ./busybox ls -l foo symlink
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 1000 0 Nov 7 21:15 foo
symlink: No such file or directory
Using the usual GNU tools:
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ touch foo
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ln -s foo symlink
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ls -l foo symlink
-rw-rw-r-- 1 andersen andersen 0 Nov 7 21:19 foo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 andersen andersen 3 Nov 7 21:19 symlink -> foo
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ rm symlink
[andersen@dillweed busybox]$ ls -l foo symlink
/bin/ls: symlink: No such file or directory
-rw-rw-r-- 1 andersen andersen 0 Nov 7 21:19 foo
i.e. same thing. You seem to imply that somehow 'rm symlink' would
unlink 'foo', but that doesn't seem to be the case. Could you give me an
example which shows the problem?
