>Description:

	Going through the include/Makefile some include files get
	installed with an 'ln -sf' and some with an 'ln -s'.  In
	particular the i386/include files aren't forced. This means
	if there's a local copy of a header file  we'll never
	overwrite it, leading to potential problems.  In my case
	the problem was caused by a stray i4b_X.h header file that
	had got there from a manual install.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	
	Any reason why we can't apply this patch?
