error: unpacking of archive failed on file /boot/menu.c32;435a8cf1: cpio: link failed - Invalid cross-device link


Grrr..easy enough to fix in syslinux.spec:

ln %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/syslinux/*.c32 %{buildroot}/boot

becomes:

cp %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/syslinux/*.c32 %{buildroot}/boot

Although I don't like having to hack it like that. Tried to make them soft links, but rpmbuild bitched about it and I didn't have time to mess with it.
