The problem isn't ln -s. There is nothing to fix. Sometimes 'make install' instead 'make installworld' typed can produce this. Of course, install procedure can be complicated to make it foolprof, but I think the system must be fixed instead to not resolve illegal names. It is not good idea to produce workarounds of illegal names out of the system. -- Andrey A.
