Subject:   Fix for broken "make installworld"

I couple days ago I posted a problem using "make installworld" on a machine
that was NFS mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj from a freshly made 3.3-STABLE
machine.  The target server getting updated was running 3.2-stable (circa
July).  It would never get too far in the process, complaining (and rightly
so) about missing files in /usr/share/man that it was trying to create
hardlinks for as man page aliases.  Specifically, it was in the "pam_open"
and "pam_close" stuff.

The workaround was to mount the master server's /usr/share to /mnt and hand
copy man (and other directories) over to the target machine's /usr/share.
Then the "make installworld" took off and completed without any problems.

I could be wrong, but I think the problem might be that the "ln" logic is
backwards, like ln's args were reversed.  This apparently worked fine with a
"make world" on the master server, but not "make installworld" on the target
server (if that's significant).
