Is this unique to `make pot`? IIRC, dangling symlinks cause problems
for all sorts of build tree operations. I was always bombing and then
deleting the broken links. That or lndir a new directory and lose all
the object files. Actually, that's pretty much why I stopped using
lndir. Oh, I remember. That, and it totally doesn't work with
programs that backup a file, modify it, and then put it back to undo
-- they don't restore the links. It meant I couldn't use quilt with
lndir. I think I couldn't do svn operations from the lndir'd
directory, too.
