They're 2 different makefiles. The install/GNUmakefile (where SYMLINK=1 option
may be used) is normally only used for the initial install. The
src/sbbs3/GNUmakefile is used for building sbbs (and lot of the libraries and
utilities) and now has "install" and "symlinks" targets. You don't need to
recreate symlinks if they already exist and point where you want them to (but
you already knew that). :-)
