System: NetBSD wheel.tiac.net 1.2G NetBSD 1.2G (WHEEL) #0: Sat Oct 11 14:25:59 EDT 1997 gary@wheel.tiac.net:/disk1/build/NetBSD/sys/arch/i386/compile/WHEEL i386


>Description:
	If /usr/games is a symlink, the backgammon common_source
	make procedure will remove it. I imagine it would be the
	same for any library built with HIDEGAME set.
>How-To-Repeat:

===> backgammon
===> backgammon/common_source
install -c -o games -g bin -m 600 libcommon_source.a  /usr/lib/libcommon_source.a
ranlib -t /usr/lib/libcommon_source.a
chmod 444 /usr/lib/libcommon_source.a
/usr/games/ -> dm
ln: /usr/games/: No such file or directory
