Hard links


There are several places in the newlib make file which use hard links.
Unfortunatly the ln command seems to be a bit flakey with the file system
I am using - sometimes it works and sometimes not, it depends on which
directory it is in.

This is not a problem for GCC as configure checks whether ln works and I
can force it to use cp instead (by setting gcc_cv_prog_LN=cp).

Are the hard links used by newlib absolutly necessary? If so could newlib
please be modified to solve my problem?

Thanks
