Check for success of hard links of bin files. If they fail, try sym

links.  On Cygwin, the choice of ln or ln -s must be made at install
time, not configure time, because some filesystems (NTFS) support hard
links but others (FAT32) don't.  Fallback to cp -p, though might not
be needed, just in case.
