I'm having a hard time understanding the original code myself, but I
think it is supposed to create a relative symlink without using ln
--relative. It would probably break if rootlibdir is not a directory
immediately under the root directory (/).

I think the newer method is probably more robust, but obviously
requires newer coreutils.
