Yes, thanks. I missed the step to install haikuporter that is described at the
top page ;)

As I said in comment#12, you have two issues. one is OpenBFS doesn't support
the hard-linking as it also described in comment#7. this issue has been
fixed/improved in git master already. one is the build issue with gcc-2.95.
bz30077 branch in my tree has this fix with the common way.

HOWEVER, okay, I've tracked down. indeed the root cause is came from link().
how come link() in Haiku returns the own error code but not POSIX one? EPERM
should be the appropriate error in this case rather than own error code,
B_UNSUPPORTED.
That looks to me like a bug in Haiku.

Once it get fixed in Haiku, it should works.
