Apparently FreeBSD 'ln' does not support long options, or so I read the error.

On FreeBSD, we're getting an error: ln: illegal option -- - usage: ln [-s [-F] | -L | -P] [-f | -i] [-hnv] source_file [target_file] ... !!! Error: failed to create active php symlink This is due to our use of the "--force" flag, which is not POSIX. In the latest standard (IEEE Std 1003.1-2017), only the short "-f" flag is guaranteed to exist, and FreeBSD's "ln" seems to mostly support the flag as specified there. So, I've changed "--force" to "-f", and left a warning to future generations in a nearby comment.

The long options aren't POSIX, so I shouldn't have used it anyway. Care to test the fix before we release it?
Well, I see no errors and the symlink looks good.
