i can see how it's defined in include/toplevel.mk:

...
symlinkclean:
        -find package -type l | xargs rm -f
        rm -rf tmp
...

but under what circumstances would you use it?  it would clearly
remove, say, the "openwrt-packages" symlink under package/, and tmp/,
but what would inspire you to do that specific kind of clean?

  that target doesn't appear to be a dependency of any other rule and,
what i find curious, doing a "make distclean" wouldn't get rid of
those very same symlinks.  any reason why not?
