I get an error when performing an install-tools on NetBSD:

byte-compiling /usr/xen42/lib/python2.7/site-packages/grub/LiloConf.py 
to LiloConf.pyc
running install_scripts
copying build/scripts-2.7/pygrub -> //usr/xen42/bin
error: //usr/xen42/bin/pygrub: Too many levels of symbolic links
gmake[3]: *** [install] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/root/xen/xen-clean/tools/pygrub'
gmake[2]: *** [subdir-install-pygrub] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/root/xen/xen-clean/tools'
gmake[1]: *** [subdirs-install] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/root/xen/xen-clean/tools'
gmake: *** [install-tools] Error 2

Which I'm quite sure is caused by this.
