[build] symbolic vs hard library links

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After building boost from svn on linux, I've noticed it produces a mix of symbolic and hard links for the built libraries (output of "ls -l" attached). I'm curious if this was intentional? Have I just configured my source tree in some strange way? - -- Frank -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIIbi+5vihyNWuA4URApvHAJ90L2JBOjvFyPtT1KKRXFS6zsxeigCg0hNH 2FTth+XYWEqSzHFccXRCq/0= =7Uzr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I get the same behaviour, so you haven't configured it strangely. It *is* strange behaviour, though. One would expect all to be symbolic links. -Steve
