the first argument is where the link points to while the second argument is
where the link itself is stored
so, since DESTDIR is a temporary install point and the files will not remain
there, you end up with a broken link when you merge the DESTDIR tree with
your real filesystem:
$(bindir)/`dirname @` now points
to /some/temporary/folder/that/doesnt/exist/anymore/$(bindir)/wineapploader
instead of just $(bindir)/wineapploader
and really, since both the source and the dest are in the same place
($(bindir)), there's not much point in making absolute symlinks ... just make
a relative one (like my patch does):
$(bindir)/`dirname @` -> wineapploader
