Argh. More vagaries from Sun... the blackbox Makefiles call
'ln -sf' which the ln in question seems to find objectionable.
Try changing all the lines with 'ln -sf' to 'ln -s -f'. You'll
probably need to do this in the es_ES and fr_FR directories
as well. I can only hope that '-s -f' actually does the same
thing in that version of ln...
