I realise this might be a controversial move, but can we *please*
address this by removing our use of symlinking, rather than kicking the
problem down the road.

For header files in particular, there is no need to symlink at all. 
Some properly formed -I runes for the compiler will do the right thing,
and avoid all intermediate regeneration issues.
