But in my case it succeeds. Again, I suspect you simply had the
targets leftover from a previous 'make'. I leave it to the experts
whether that's user error, or whether 'ln -s' should become 'ln -f
-s'.
Sigh. This was a silly thing to say. As written, it should not
attempt 'ln -s' if the target already exists. Duh. Damn fever
talkin'.
So there is clearly something broken here, possibly in Cygwin. I'll
have a closer look.
