Ok, this makes sense, and I'd propose something like the attached patch
to address this. Though this needs further testing, it seems to work for
the test case I've used based on the comms toolbox. Basically, this
means that symbolic links should be handled by the developer either
embedded in the code or as a seperate PKG_ADD file that is appended to
the end of the PKG_ADD commands found in the source.
