That's what Makefile will use and it is required if unusual flags
must be passed to linker (e.g. to build ppc32 code on ppc64le with clang).

At least on Windows 2003 using "ln -s dir1 dir2" in msys shell succeeds,
but results in what looks like hard link. Subsequent "rm -f dir2" (e.g.
during second config.status invocation) fails. Check that we also can
remove link to directory.

Make it more clear in message that we are checking "ln -s".
