Subject: [PATCH] generalinstructions: Remove a false statement about "cp -R
 destroys symlink"

It's just wrong (at least with all recent Coreutils releases).

Note that hard links are really destroyed, but AFAIK tar does not keep
hard links correctly anyway and destroying hard links won't cause
packages fail to build at all.
