For those wanting to build for several platforms with the same source

directory, making a separate directory tree with lots of symbolic links
seems to be the solution.  Unfortunatelt, Configure doesn't take appropriate
steps to support this solution (as in removing a file that's going to be
rewritten).  This change corrects that situation.  Now I just have to
find all other places where there's lack of support for this.
