a normal netbsd src tree with obj elsewhere should have zero symlinks.

r/o src breaks your build instead of setting you up to fail in the
future at some point.  this is why i really recommend it.

FWIW, when ever i have a question i've got a problem i use:

   cvs -dPA -I\! -ICVS

(actually, -I.CVS because i choose .CVS/ dirs.)

which will find all the unexpected files, even if otherwise
ignored.
