Here's a patch which fixes a problem with --symbolic/--symlink:
If target file does not exist during --import, gnulib-tool will
try to remove it resulting in an error. One way to fix this, the
one used here, is to rm -f. Another one would be to use ln -s -f
without the rm (is ln -f portable?). A third one to would be to
check before running rm at all. I don't know which one is to
prefer...
The two other patch chunks are for adding -s.

* gnulib-tool (Options): Add -s for --symlink/--symbolic.
(func_ln_if_changed) Remove forcibly for no error message
in case file does not exist.
