I am getting messages like the one below from portage every now and then.  
Especially, about /var/run, but in this case about a different directory:  

* Messages for package dev-libs/klibc-1.5.20:

 * One or more symlinks to directories have been preserved in order to
 * ensure that files installed via these symlinks remain accessible. This
 * indicates that the mentioned symlink(s) may be obsolete remnants of an
 * old install, and it may be appropriate to replace a given symlink with
 * the directory that it points to.
 * 
 *      /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm
 * 

Perhaps I am having a senior moment, but I am not clear what I should do 
despite the friendly message.  This is the symlink in question:

ls -la /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov  8  2008 /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm -> asm-x86


How am I supposed to *replace* it with the directory that it points to?
