On machines other than the build one, the "source" symlink has been removed, the "build" one correctly goes to /usr/src/linux-headers-3.14.3-x32 > If it is your build machine, then this is the current behaviour > to leave the links pointing to your build directory.

On the build machine, both "source" and "build" point to the directory the kernel happened to be built in, in my case in a directory owned by an user other than root. This leads to failures: * if I delete the unpacked sources, dkms fails to find installed linux-headers-XXX. This is likely when using packaged linux-source which embeds its version number in its top directory's name. * if I checkout some other version, dkms will build against the currently unpacked tree rather than installed linux-headers-XXX. This is likely when building from git. -- Gnome 3, Windows 8, Slashdot Beta, now Firefox Ribbon^WAustralis.
