Sounds like you're a victim of changes to "pax". On the other hand,
removing the step to create "/sys" shouldn't cause problems for
anyone: if you have it, it would be left alone, and if you don't, and
you need it, you can always make it yourself, once.

The existence of "/sys -> /usr/src/sys" is more than just clutter. It
causes builds of packages that still pass "-I/sys" to the compiler to
blow up, in the likely case where "/usr/src/sys" is not for the
running system.
