A similar 'security feature' was introduced sometime ago, wich 'silently' broke firefox instalation , it refused to allow symlinks in destination directory, of course the error was ignored by 'make install' so it took some time later to find out that nothing was installed - my /usr/local is symlinked. The solution was to 'fix' cpio to behave as before, since adding the ignore-symlinks feature to firefox's makefile was beyond me:-)
I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with this, but I'd like to take this opportunity to make a plea that when you (pl.) run into problems like this that you report them when they happen. I know that after taking time to track down problems the last thing you want to do is take MORE time to report them, but the 5 minutes you spend reporting it today can save hours for other users down the road.
