Yes... this is indeed wrong (and if you search the mol-general
archive, I have argued against using symbolic links quite a few
times).

The origin of this piece of "advice" is several years old.
Back then, it was common practice was to symlink /usr/src/linux and
/usr/src/asm. (It typically worked a lot better, in particular on PPC
where the distros were quite immature at this time).

I was not aware that the MOL site still contained these instructions; I'll correct
this error (the complete userguide needs to be rewritten; a lot of things have
changed).
