Those symlinks should not be in the distribution; they should be
created during "configure", which also creates the files/dirs they
point to. Unfortunately they were not getting removed by "make
distclean", so they are present in the 6.5 tarball.

I have fixed "make distclean" to remove them, and that fix will be in
6.5.1, but Thomas evidently built from the 6.5 tarball.
