This has got to be the stupidest failure I have ever seen!

This is due to an incomprehensibly stupid "ln" that cares about the
order of the "-s" and "-f" options:
$ rm -f b; touch a; ln -f -s a b
$ rm -f b; touch a; ln -s -f a b
Usage: ln [-f] [-s] f1
ln [-f] [-s] f1 f2
ln [-f] [-s] f1 ... fn d1
$ which ln
/usr/ucb/ln
$ uname -a
SunOS lem.lbl.gov 5.10 s10_69 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
I see the same with both the 1.5rc5 and 1.4.3rc1 tarballs, which both
contain
# ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6b
