#776 closed defect (fixed)

Solaris /usr/ucb/ln doesn't accept -sf flags

Description

When installing under Solaris 2.6/8, if ln is taken from /usr/ucb, the command

ln -sf

in the install-fonts target in lib/Makefile fails, because /usr/ucb/ln is stupid
and cannot comprehend the -sf options. The command _must_ be given as

ln -f -s

(yes, in that order). I've checked and /usr/bin/ln works fine with the options
in that form.
