That was my implied point. There does not seem to be a consistent approach 
here, 
with the existing SUNWbinutils.

I am just as confused as you are. I was under the very distinct impression that 
the existing SUNWbinutils will deliver symlinks in /usr/bin. But then, that did 
not appear to be the case. I therefore concluded that the symlinks were removed 
for a reason.
