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.

Should that not be first converted to paths that contain no symlinks?

Checking again, I see that the ash 'pwd' just ignores its arguments, but doesn't need '-P' because it doesn't maintain an internal pwd.... Oh well.
