exports.c generation fails when using a symlink to the source

Joe Orton's modifed make_exports.awk fixed the problem for me as well, building
httpd-2.0.50 on Solaris 9.

I wasted some time tracking this down yesterday. It was frustrating. Sulka
discovered the cause of this problem over a year ago. Symlinks are not uncommon,
especially with automounting.  At the very least, perhaps the INSTALL file could
be updated to say "NOTE: Apache will not compile if the sources are located in a
path with a symlink."
