Description
Building Haiku with "jam install-haiku" adds at least three symlinks on my bootdrive.
In /boot/beos/apps, /boot/home and /boot/beos/preferences three symlinks are created that point to their respective parent directories.
It seems the symlinks are created during the "Populating image" process.

Apparently the ln that comes with R5 is buggy and always assumes switch "-n", while your ln doesn't. I added the switch in revision 16354. This should fix the problem.

I just tried with revision 16344 and I couldn't reproduce this problem on my system.What names have the symlinks?What value has your HAIKU_INSTALL_DIR variable?Could you please comment out the RmTemps invocation in build/jam/HaikuImage for $(HAIKU_IMAGE_COPY_FILES_SCRIPT) (should be line 295). This should leave a file named "haiku.image-copy-files" in your generated/ directory after you have re-run "jam install-haiku". Among other things it contains all symlink creation commands during the installation process ("$ln -sf ..."). It would be nice, if you could send me the file (or have a look yourself, whether something looks suspicious). Thanks.
