Subj: 	how to test symlink install step?

I need to add a symlink to /usr/lib (libcdrom.a, pointing to
../ccs/lib/libcdrom.a), but I can't figure out a way to test the
installation of the symlink.

./usr/ccs/lib/Makefile has a name listing the symlinks to be created.
What command can I run to have the symlinks created in a test install
area (such as /tmp/usr/lib/ )?

Use mklinks to populate the obj tree.  This *should* satisfy make that
it doesn't need to build anything.
