For reference, these symlinks are being created by things like:

SYMLINKS+=      lib${LIB}.so.6 ${X11USRLIBDIR}/lib${LIBOLD}.so.6

in src/external/mit/xorg/lib/libXaw6/Makefile and the analogs in the
other Makefiles.

I have no idea why they are being created etc., but as they point at
nothing they're clearly not correct.
