This is not the answer for your readlink question,
but may help you nontheless.
That behaviour of rsync has always confused me.
To be 100% sure what rsync does, I've got into the way
of appending a "/." to both the source and the target
directory for rsync:
$ rsync -avx libtool/. /to/some/where/.
Have a nice day,
