Subject: [PATCH] tools/lib/lockdep: Fix link creation warning
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This warning triggers if the .so library has already been linked:

 triton:~/tip/tools/lib/lockdep> make
  CC       common.o
  CC       lockdep.o
  CC       rbtree.o
  LD       liblockdep-in.o
  LD       liblockdep.a
  ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘liblockdep.so’: File exists
  LD       liblockdep.so.4.5.0-rc6

Overwrite the link.
