+Subject: [PATCH] build: Allow to install over dirty dir
+
+Before commit e98cef6f3f8c ("make: install/uninstall tools symlinks to
+kmod") it was possible to call `make install DESTDIR=<dir>` multiple
+times. Use `ln -sf` so the symlink is always re-created.
+
+It would be preferred to remove install in an empty dir, but there's
+not a bad consequence of re-using the same, so let the user decide.
+Fixes the following errors while installing for the second time:
+
+	ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/insmod': File exists
+	ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/lsmod': File exists
+	ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/rmmod': File exists
+	ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/depmod': File exists
+	ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/modprobe': File exists
+	ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/modinfo': File exists
+	make[3]: *** [Makefile:2679: install-exec-hook] Error 1
+	make[2]: *** [Makefile:2553: install-exec-am] Error 2
+	make[1]: *** [Makefile:2439: install-am] Error 2
+	make: *** [Makefile:1848: install-recursive] Error 1
