Well, it may not be obvious, but hyperlinks have been there in the TOC.
You mean you want them colored blue?
For TOC, they may be OK.
But I'm afraid that to color all the hyperlinks in the whole textbook
could be too aggressive, as can be seen for example in Section 5.2.4
(below Listing 5.5). Frequent colored line numbers can look too
fancy/noisy for some people.
Does adding an experimental target to make hyperlinks colored work with
you (similar to -1csf, -msnt, and the like)? If so, which layout do you
prefer, 1c or 2c?

As for SyncTeX support, how about the approach in the patch
below?
Thanks, Akira

Subject: [PATCH] Add optional flag 'LATEX_OPT' in run{first}latex.sh
Balbir reported that SyncTeX-aware viewers complain in opening
perfbook.pdf [1].
Instead of always generating .synctex{.gz} files, add an optional
flag to pdflatex commands in run{first}latex.sh scripts.
.synctex files can be generated by defining an environment variable
"LATEX_OPT", e.g.:
$ export LATEX_OPT="--synctex=-1"
, and run "make".
Update .gitignore and "claen" in Makefile as well to ignore/remove
SyncTeX files.
