As reported at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-
dev/2012-December/067476.html the instructions to work around the fact
that some hosts have symlinked /dev/shm to /run/shm can in fact break
those hosts. Once the /dev/shm symlink is removed from the host, it's
never recreated!
The fix from Pierre, in that thread, looks good:
{{{
if [ -h $LFS/dev/shm ]; then
mkdir -p $/LFS/run/shm
mount -vt tmpfs shm $LFS/run/shm
fi
}}}
So, we mount the shm FS into the target of the symlink, rather than
removing the symlink.
We'll need to add an errata item for this as well.
