There was a licpgm (Zend server, perhaps?) that wouldn't install properly if one or the other was a symlink. Now I can't remember which way caused the problem... but it failed to install to a symlinked directory, so you had to do the link in the other direction.

It was annoying.

One could also symlink /usr/local to /QOpenSys/usr/local. It's a matter of
semantics and preference. If you find a system that already has one but not
both of these, my advice is to symlink the other to it rather than doing a
lot of finagling to meet that spec as written. Scott may find reason to
differ on that point. I'd like to hear it.
