I think i found the cause of the problem :
when i install wine using cvs i do this:: 
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[e-mail]:/home/wine
cvs login
cvs -z 0 checkout wine

when i compile cvs wine krnl386.exe.so is just a copy of kernel32.dll.so

when i compile a source tarball krnl386.exe.so is a symbolic link to kernel32.dll.so

i compiled both cvs and source tarball and searched for diffs in configure and i
see this:
in cvs config.log:

configure:5389: checking whether ln -s works
configure:5396: result: no, using cp -p

in source tarball config.log:

configure:5389: checking whether ln -s works
configure:5393: result: yes

now how is that possible? how can cvs decide that ln -s doesn't work? it just
works fine here.
 any hints welcome
