Comment(by leif):

 In that case, you could omit the `-f` from `ln`.

 I would add a comment that the `rm` is necessary because of the different
 semantics on Solaris. I'm pretty sure we have further instances of such...
 ;-)

 Btw, `sage-build` needs a lot of quoting..., and '''calls'''(!) `sage-env`
 rather than sourcing it. (In principle I think we could remove that, since
 it should have been called by `sage-sage`, right? Redirecting stdout to
 `/dev/null` shouldn't be necessary anyway.)

 `devel/sage/spkg-install` is clean regarding `ln -snf`, but needs other
 work...

 I'm not sure about SageNB; I made some changes there that afair never got
 into Sage because they then were fixed(?) in a different way (originally
 caused by a `.` in `PYTHONPATH`), don't remember.
