'Twas brillig, and Maarten Bosmans at 16/03/11 09:55 did gyre and gimble: > This is necessary as symlinks are not supported on Windows.

The absolute link cannot include DESTDIR I believe as most RPMs/packages use DESTDIR to create install routes that ultimately end up in /. DESTDIR cannot appear in any symbolic links. Also relative symlinks are preferred for relocated installs an for seeing working links when installing in chroots etc. Also, (as I've got other issues with this particular patch) can you call the variable something other than "LINK_PROGRAM" to avoid any confusion with library linking? SYMLINK_PROGRAM or something (even if it's invalid on win32) would IMO be less confusing.
