[arm-gnu] Use of Hardlinks

Gents,

Whilst updating to your more recent compilers we noticed you make heavy use of hardlinks.

We are currently storing the compilers we use internally under version control and we are finding the hardlinks get expanded - causing increased disk space and various concerned parties.

Our thinking is that we can replace the hardlinks with symlinks (which are supported by version control) without any adverse effects.

Does that sound about right or are there some issues we haven't thought of?

TIA,

Ryan
