Summary

0008654: cmake -E cmake_symlink_library fails without error message

Description

Output of make:

Linking CXX shared library ../../../lib/libkonq.so
make[2]: *** [lib/libkonq.so.5.3.0] Error 1
make[1]: *** [apps/lib/konq/CMakeFiles/konq.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Not really clear about what the problem is.
Output of VERBOSE=1 make:

Not better. Only stracing the "cmake -E cmake_symlink_library" call showed
what the problem was...
access("../../../lib/libkonq.so.5", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
symlink("libkonq.so.5.3.0", "../../../lib/libkonq.so.5") = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
access("../../../lib/libkonq.so.5", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
symlink("libkonq.so.5", "../../../lib/libkonq.so") = -1 EEXIST (File exists)

This is because
libkonq.so.5 is a broken symlink to libkonq.so.5.2.0, which doesn't exist anymore
(the version number was increased so it's 5.3.0 now).

This seems to indicate two bugs
1) cmake -E cmake_symlink_library should output an error on stderr when it fails,
so that the user is given a hint about the fact that it's the symlinking that failed
and not the actual linking with ld.
2) the symlink should be removed before being re-created; or should be tested
with lstat() rather than access(), and then removed.
