Compilation error while using symlinked folders

[Srinath N]

Hi folks,

I'm building the android-4.4.4_r2 source code on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine. I symlinked the base/ and the native/ folders under the frameworks/ folder to yet another folder (outside the tree). When I build nexus 5 image (aosp-hammerhead_eng) I face the following error (please see text in bold font).

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES device/generic/goldfish/data/etc/apns-conf.xml:system/etc/apns-conf.xml ignored.

....

The folder device/lge/hammerhead has the egl.cfg file and the intermediates folder also has the egl.cfg file.

Can anyone let me know why I'm getting this error?

One more error - this is because of frameworks/base being symlinked to an external folder.
