Hello, Corinna,
Symlinks form the installation are created as ordinary
files, ie. instead of eg.
lrwxrwxrwx .... ld.exe -> /usr/bin/ld.exe
I get
-rw-r--r-- ... ld.exe
Unfortunately, I deleted the other files.

Can you elaborate on this? What means they "don't work"? I can create
symlinks on my samba share fine and they also work so the above is not
very useful information. Magic formula: "Simple testcase".
