No, he wants to be able to edit gram.y (changing parse.h) and other
files (using parse.h) in parser, then do a "make" in that directory to
see if it compiles. As things were, he had to start the make at backend
top level just to see if the parser compiles, because there was no other
way to get include/parser/parse.h up to date. But you might be right
that a symlink would be a better answer.
