Because in the build process mtree is used to set permissions for /tmp and /var/mail. With mtree defaults (restored) they left in unknown state in systems which use symlinks for them, so why -L (optionally) needed. Probably setting permissions and creating directories, i.e. 'make hierarchy' does not belong to build process at all, I am not sure. -- Andrey A.
