<pre>The root problem is in Platform::Install.
When given a symlink, it will try to create the same symlink on the target.
However, Platform::CreateSymlink function is not implemented, but even if it
was, the target is unlikely to contain anything at the place where the symlink
points to. And even if it contain something, it would most likely be a
different object than the debugger will obtain when it resolves the symlink
locally.
I think that a more reasonable behavior here would be to copy the file contents
instead.</pre>
