Ah, I found:
solenv/bin/linkoo:export SAL_ALLOW_LINKOO_SYMLINKS=1
sc/source/ui/vba/testvba/runTests.pl: $ENV{"SAL_ALLOW_LINKOO_SYMLINKS"} = "1";
toolkit/workben/layout/TEST:export SAL_ALLOW_LINKOO_SYMLINKS=1

I worked around this at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/ure/commit/?id=784641a19811c22208e7db8efa150e744348d8bf
in master.

Don't know, in the light of that, if we still need this proposed patch
then ?

Your workaround unsets that variable for the test, effectively saying
that the "else" branch above should not be tested at all. From a
general point of view, this looks fishy; if a specific subtest does
not apply to this branch, I'd rather disable just that specific
subtest; I mean the file sal/qa/osl/file/osl_old_test_file.cxx tests
for the SAL_ALLOW_LINKOO_SYMLINKS environment variable, and if it is
set, runs only the subtests that should pass. For example, in

The thing is that SAL_ALLOW_LINKOO_SYMLINKS is a foul and monstrous
hack to get make dev-install work in the sense that rebuilding a
module will make the installed install-set at "install" use the
newly rebuilt libraries without re-installing the install set (...)x

You mean I can just run "build" in a module and
./install/program/soffice will use it, without rerunning "make
dev-install"? Ah yes, it works, you just increased my productivity!
Thanks.
