After applying the recent patch to 8.31 ln to fix functionality on solaris 10, I
saw some improvement but I think there's something else wrong.
e.g. # ln -s /raven/etc/fonts/conf.avail/50-user.conf .
ln: failed to create symbolic link '.': Invalid argument

Also, please try running 'make check'. It should catch bugs like this.
