[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH v2] eval: Rebuild hard link if git breaks it
Commit 39b40750dd works if you rely on 'make clean' after a git
update, but not if you rely on incremental 'make'. Git likes to
update files by creating new inodes, which strands hard links. We
could either use symlinks, or as done here, add a dependency to force
the hard links to be rebuilt as needed.
