If you build with static libraries enabled, the file will exist. I'm
currently checking, what's wrong with the Makefile.

However, I'm surpised that two people come up with this during one
day. Nobody ever noticed that dangling symlink.

Just out of curiosity: Why do you need it? Are you linking something
statically?
