[Mono-dev] symlinks to lib/mono/gac/*/*/*.config all broken?

[Edward Cho]

This is still occurring in the 1.1.9 release.  The Makefile targets
look like this:

$(test_lib): $(test_lib).config $(TEST_RESOURCES)

$(test_lib).config: Test/test-config-file
        cp $< $@

CLEAN_FILES = $(test_lib).config

That last line looks conspicuous, but I assume that just removes the
.config files on 'make clean'

Cheers,
Edward Cho
