Hmm, what the version of ln command is it? that looks like it prevents
to install something with DESTDIR say. for the real install, we could
use install-data-hook instead of install-data-local though, it doesn't
help when using DESTDIR with that broken ln command.

It's wrong. installed symlinks shouldn't be referred to the source
directory. as I mentioned above, you can use install-data-hook instead
of install-data-local in your case. but you better use sane ln command
if any.
