For emulations, yes.
For cross-building, no.
IIRC, matt & Jason were talking about the latter.

Regarding installing ld.elf_so as a relative symlink
instead of absolute symlink:

    *	It looks like we'll need to enhance the SYMLINKS stuff
	in <bsd.links.mk> to allow use of relative symlinks
	on a case-by-case basis or even make relative symlinks
	the default for SYMLINKS.

    *	Alternatively we add a special manual target for ld.elf_so
	to install it as a relative symlink.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Luke.
