I just discovered that I needed awk (to install gcc 2.2.2). I already
have gawk installed, so I created a symbolic link called awk which
pointed to gawk. Gcc installed happilly. Later I wanted to strip a few
files in my bin, and being a lazy person simply typed 

strip *

which seemed fine, until I noticed that my awk symlink had been converted
into a regular file which was a copy of my gawk binary. This seemed like
incorrect behaviour to me so I tried the same thing on my Sun, and the
Sun preserved the symlink. I guess it is just a problem with the 
strip binary I'm using, but would like to have this confirmed. I think I
got the strip binary from the binutils.tar.Z shipped with gcc 2.2.2 on
banjo. 

Any ideas ?
