This is a hard link to a symlink which is pretty obscure functionality.
nevertheless, it's quite useful when optimizing for packaging speed
when you develop huge packages, you would appreciate faster repackaging
so instead of copying data from %build -> %install tree, one can do
hardlinks to speedup the process:
cp -l build.txt $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/cp-test && l=l && rm -f
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/cp-test
cp -a$l bin help lib license plugins $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_appdir}
here it makes feature test if srcdir and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT are same disk,
and enables hardlinking
now if there is a symlink in a tree, it gets affected by this bug.
also: in rpm package there is packaged only one instance of the hardlink
(one in $RPM_BUILD_ROOT),
imho should decide on that actual number, not what it sees from filesystem
