On linux and solaris, tcs_cv_config_include=ln -fs

I'm having trouble with this on solaris though because ln -fs complains
when the link already exists.  So, I figure I'll remove it first,
changing the command from (for example)

ln -fs ../src/foo.h bar.h

to

rm -f bar.h && ln -fs ../src/foo.h bar.h

Trouble is, when I execute this back on linux in bash
2.05b.0(1)-release, everything seems to be treated as an argument to rm
and it blows away bar.h and ../src/foo.h, while complaining that -s
isn't a valid option.

This works when I execute it in the shell directly, but not via
config.status.

I also tried

rm -f -- bar.h && ln -fs ../src/foo.h bar.h

but that doesn't work either.

Any ideas?

Thanks much for your help.
