Comments from RP: The problem is that the location we're symlinking to may not be installed yet. For example, gcc provides "${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc" but it won't be installed at the location we point at until after gcc's populate_sysroot function runs. The tests you're using are therefore not adding as many symlinks as we need.
