Thank you for the bug report.

The branch-1-5 patch looks good to me, except that is fixes compile mode
only and not link mode, but I'll leave it at Peter's discretion as to
when it should be applied.

Yes, which is why the HEAD patch is not ok as it is now; func_show_eval
is also called like this:

|  func_show_eval '( cd "$output_objdir" && $RM "$outputname" && $LN_S 
"../$outputname" "$outputname" )' 'exit $?'

(I might work on this, but not right away.)
