Not at the moment.  The tree walk code must not follow symlinks to
directories, othereise it gets very confused about where all the input
files are.  So the tree walk code uses lstat instead of stat, but lstat
is no good for plain files because it gets the timestamp of the symlink
instead of the real file.  Until I can correct the tree walk code and
convince myself that symlinks will not cause other problems, kbuild 2.5
does not support symlinks.  Maybe later.
