From here it looks like this:

$ find -P 17 17/postgresql-17 17/postgresql-17/F-42 main main/non-common main/non-common/postgresql-17
main/non-common/postgresql-17/F-42-ls -prune

Most of the *files* in main/non-common/postgresql-17/F-42 are symbolic links, but the source files whose
paths will be embedded in the DWARF information are located in a normal tree of directories:

$ find -P F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4
F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4/src-prune -ls
 
   1099584      0 drwxr-xr-x   4 saper    saper          46 Apr 24 09:42 F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build
  17946944      4 drwxr-xr-x   6 saper    saper        4096 Apr 24 09:43 F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4
   1206330      4 drwxr-xr-x  16 saper    saper        4096 Apr 24 09:43
F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4/src

The solution could be to move the build tree outside of this symlink maze and things should be fine (if we need those
1[3-8]trees at all).
 

Sorry for being a pain - this was quite a showstopper for me
