What for? Many people limit their e-mail messages to 80 columns. What for? The 'build' symlink is to make it easier for external module installation scripts to find the build directory for a given kernel. This build directory, in turn, will yield the correct header files, correct .config, correct compiler flags, etc., all of which can be important for building a working module.
