Question if I may: should I be avoiding symlinks as non-portable?

For anything that should go back into SVN: no symlinks (*).

might modify it for ppc, and not notice mips also linked to the file)

Thanks, noted. Obviously while I've just got a local copy on my system I can easily locate symlinks, SVN is very much in the future since I've got limited confidence in my work so far.
