Question about X build tactics.

Is there a big reason why lndir is not used instead of cp in the build rules? For reasons of disk space alone something along the lines of: mkdir $(SOURCE_TREE) lndir ../../$(SOURCE_TREE)-real $(SOURCE_TREE)/ ifndef NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER # create source tree for static, d
