Well, I ran in the very same problem with supscan.

I don't want/need obj.i386 symlinks beeing transferred to the client
machine.

So, besides "rsymlink src" in sup/current/list/allsrc, I set
"omitany */obj.*", which catches 

./gnu/dist/gas/obj.h
./gnu/dist/toolchain/gas/obj.h
./gnu/usr.bin/gas/obj.h

too.

I only build native i386 on this machine, so I can be more precise
"omitany */obj.i386" But tyhat's not a clean solution.

It'll be much much better to have an option to olmit *every* symlink...
