Well, I just used dpkg to re-install libc5-dev and libc5 and the symlink is
now there.  I had just updated to elf from a.out (last night) in one dselect
session.  I don't know why the sym-link didn't stay around.... I don't
suppose any packages would have the authority to remove symlinks? I
did just remove the old a.out package; is there some way that dpkg
would have removed the symlink after libc5-dev had created it?  Strange.
