Bugzilla Bug 74348

probably a bug with binutils-config but emerging binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-r3
(which pulled binutils-config-1.1 in as well) results in this error at the end.

* Switching to i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.15.92.0.2 ...
rm: cannot remove `//usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ldscripts': Is a director  [ ok

its binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r2. I copied and pasted the binutils version from my
server and not my desktop (where the problem occured)

what is inside /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ldscripts/ ?

#ls -l /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ldscripts/
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root root 57 Dec 14 02:52 ldscripts -> /usr/lib/binutils/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.15.92.0.2/ldscripts

binutils-config-1.2 now rm's the dir if it isnt a symlink
