Is there a reason why we need to symlink all the data files in tests/acpi-test-data/ individually, rather than just having tests/acpi-test-data itself be a symlink back to the directory in the source tree ? That would avoid this problem; it's how we handle tests/acceptance and tests/data. thanks -- PMM
