Ps: with symlink you may find bugs like this:

root at slax:/buildroot/project_build_i386/uclibc/root# symlinks -r -R .
chroot to /mnt/hda1/buildroot/project_build_i386/uclibc/root:
cwd: /
dangling: /etc/mtab -> ../proc/mounts
dangling: /etc/resolv.conf -> ../tmp/resolv.conf
dangling: /usr/lib/terminfo -> 
/mnt/hda1/buildroot/build_i386/staging_dir/usr/share/terminfo           
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< :-((
messy:    /usr/bin/slogin -> ./ssh
dangling: /var/lib/avahi-autoipd -> /tmp/avahi-autoipd
root at slax:/buildroot/project_build_i386/uclibc/root#
