For the record:
There was a bug in Solaris in where it set permissions to 777 for targets
of symlinks it did copy (where the targets were not necessarily copied).
I've checked and this bug seems to be gone in Solaris 8.

 ^^^^^^^^^

The permissions of ../bin used to be clobbered before, this looks good
now.
