To provide more context, these are the ALTERNATIVE variables in the recipe =
around=C2=A0ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[sh]

ALTERNATIVE:${PN} =3D "bash sh"
ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[bash] =3D "${base_bindir}/bash"
ALTERNATIVE_TARGET[bash] =3D "${base_bindir}/bash"
ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[sh] =3D "${base_bindir}/sh"
ALTERNATIVE_TARGET[sh] =3D "${base_bindir}/bash.${BPN}"

Based on earlier messages on=C2=A0ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME and ALTERNATIVE_TAR=
GET, I have arrived at the conclusion that a link should be created but isn=
't.

Thanks,
Devendra
