Similarly, 'make distribution' fails when /root is a separate filesystem:

cd /usr/src/etc/root;  install -o root -g wheel -m 644  dot.profile
/tmproot/root/.profile;  rm -f /tmproot/.profile;  ln
/tmproot/root/.profile /tmproot/.profile
ln: /tmproot/.profile: Cross-device link
*** [distribution] Error code 1

Is there any real advantage of hard links over symlinks nowadays?
