Who said it's an error, Linus just does not like it and thinks says it's
incorrect, it causes no errors, and when you have multiple kernel
sources on the same machine it makes life much easier.

I would agree that going through multiple symlinks is bad practice, this
could also be Linus' argument, or maybe it's multiple times through the
same symlink in the case of a kernel compile.
