Ok, so running without symlinks does cause all of the make steps listed in
the wiki to complete with success, as does the update.js step.  However,
restarting synchronet after the compile does not work so good.  It ends in
a segmentation fault.  I had the output captured but apparently it got
deleted when I had to restore from backup.

Just for fun, I did go back through the wiki and attempt to install all of
the dependencies.  apt-get reported that all were installed at at their
newest versions - none missing.

Also, one thing I did see synchronet complain about before abending was the
SBBSCTRL not being set.  I find this confusing as the script that starts
synchronet contains these three lines, before sbbs is called:

export HOME=/sbbs
export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
export SBBSNODE=/sbbs/node1
