As one who has also tripped over this in the past, I'll second Chuck's
vote. A call to ld fails more often then that to mv, but I often found
myself going through the bsd.*.mk and removing the ``@''. Mostly so that
I can see the exact ld-line, but not only...
I remember, in the past, when people were wondering about The Right Ways
to link on FreeBSD they were refered to the bsd.lib.mk. If the
bsd.lib.mk was exposing the actual link commands a little better, this
reference would have been easier to follow.
