src/include/Makefile rev. 1.110 or newer

>Description:

Running 'make includes' with SHARED unset or set to 'copies' clobbers 48
headers in /usr/src/include/{isofs,ufs,dev}. The 'copies' target removes
those directories entirely, and new copies of the headers must then be
installed, causing false negatives when checking dependencies for source
code that includes them.

The reason for removing the directories is allegedely to remove symlinks
placed there by the 'symlinks' target.

>How-To-Repeat:

# cd /usr/src
# make includes SHARED=copies

or

# cd /usr/src/include
# make all install SHARED=copies

>Fix:

Use find(1) to locate and remove symlinks in /usr/src/include instead of
mindlessly clobbering everything that moves and some of what doesn't.
