Ouch, these are really bad. I don't understand what's going on here. These are 
not supposed to be symlinks, they are supposed to be loadable plugins, and in 
the F7 RPM which is built from the same specfile, they are. How they get 
replaced with symlinks not pointing to anywhere is a mystery to me. Maybe a 
cmake bug? Or some other toolchain component?
