Meh.  symlink mode has *no* effect beyond showing up in lstat()
output, so I don't think we should clutter the }Makefiles with this.
If you want exactly reproducible builds, including the ignored symlink
bits, then set your umask consistently.

(symlink owner effects who can perform operations on the symlink
itself; symlink group affects which group is charged for the inode for
quotas.)
