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.) Philip
