The breakage is fixed by a `ln -s lib/libgsf-1.12.3/gsf gsf'.

So, I'm guessing we should replicate the .goffice-links stuff in the
toplevel Makefile.am?

Or even combining them.  Something like:

.links:
if !HAVE_GOFFICE
        ln -sf . goffice
endif
if !HAVE_LIBGSF
        ln -sf lib/libgsf-1.12.3/gsf gsf
endif
        touch .links
