Thomas Petazzoni 384a9c596f package/vim: fix reinstallation
While not very common, it is nice when package re-installation
works. Unfortunately the "installlinks" target of vim installs links
with "ln -s", causing a package reinstallation to fail with:

cd /home/thomas/buildroot/br/output-all/target/usr/bin; ln -s vim ex
cd /home/thomas/buildroot/br/output-all/target/usr/bin; ln -s vim view
cd /home/thomas/buildroot/br/output-all/target/usr/bin; ln -s vim rvim
cd /home/thomas/buildroot/br/output-all/target/usr/bin; ln -s vim rview
cd /home/thomas/buildroot/br/output-all/target/usr/bin; ln -s vim vimdiff
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'ex': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'view': File exists
make[2]: *** [Makefile:2749: /home/thomas/buildroot/br/output-all/target/usr/bin/ex] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: *** [Makefile:2752: /home/thomas/buildroot/br/output-all/target/usr/bin/view] Error 1
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'rvim': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'rview': File exists

To fix this, we remove the target links before proceeding with the
installation.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
