Subject: [PATCH] build: check for ln --relative
ln --relative is recent enough that not all distributions support it.
This is especially the case for enterprise-grade distributions than can
have a life-span of more than a decade.
Detect if ln supports --relative and use it if so.
If not supported, use a bit of sed magic to construct the ../ sequence,
that leads back to / when appended to the destination directory.
We introduce this as a macro that expands to a single command. To avoid
complexity in the macro, we expect paths to be passed whitout the
leading DESTDIR.
