72b8b5a19a3087ffa5556b5d5b3fc13300ae35d5 configure: Fix creation of symbolic links for MinGW toolchain
The MinGW toolchain on w32/w64 hosts does not create symbolic links,
but implements 'ln -s' similar to 'cp -r'.
In incremental out of tree builds, this resulted in files which
were not updated when their counterparts in the QEMU source tree
changed. Especially for Makefile* this happened very often.
With this patch, the 'symlinked' files are now always updated for
out of tree builds. Similar code was already used for the symbolic
link of libcacard/Makefile.
The symlink macro always removes the target before it is created
again, therefore the rm command for libcacard/Makefile was redundant
and is removed now.
Macro symlink is also used with directories. To remove them on w32
hosts, a recursive rm is needed.
v2:
Quote arguments in shell function symlink, and also quote any argument
which is passed to symlink and which contains macros. This should reduce
the chance of accidents caused by rm -rf.
