ln -s -f problems on solaris 8

[garrick]

I just installed the plugins package on Solaris 8 and make all and make
install both error with ln usage.

'rm -f link; ln -s file link' is the only portable way to deal with
this.

$ /usr/ucb/ln
Usage: ln [-f] [-s] f1
       ln [-f] [-s] f1 f2
       ln [-f] [-s] f1 ... fn d1
$ /usr/bin/ln
ln: Insufficient arguments (0)
Usage: ln [-f] [-n] [-s] f1 [f2]
       ln [-f] [-n] [-s] f1 ... fn d1
       ln [-f] [-n] -s d1 d2
$ grep 'ln -s -f' *
ChangeLog:      * plugins/Makefile.am: solaris 8 needs 'ln -s -f' instead of 'ln -sf'
$ uname -r
5.8
