Actually, it's the building of the intl-scm.c that breaks when
you have dangling .scm symlinks.  The reason is that the code does:

  find . -name \*.scm | ...

And this will pick up the dangling symlink.  OOPS.

Feel free to send a patch to fix this strange case if you want,
but I've just lived with this myself for long enough that I don't
consider it a major issue.  The make bombs, I delete the .scm file,
and then it works.
