From here it looks like this:
$ find -P 17 17/postgresql-17 17/postgresql-17/F-42 main main/non-common main/non-common/postgresql-17
main/non-common/postgresql-17/F-42-ls -prune

Most of the *files* in main/non-common/postgresql-17/F-42 are symbolic links, but the source files whose
paths will be embedded in the DWARF information are located in a normal tree of directories:
$ find -P F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4
F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4/src-prune -ls
1099584 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 saper saper 46 Apr 24 09:42 F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build

1206330 4 drwxr-xr-x 16 saper saper 4096 Apr 24 09:43
F-42/postgresql17-17.4-build/postgresql-17.4/src
The solution could be to move the build tree outside of this symlink maze and things should be fine (if we need those
1[3-8]trees at all).
Sorry for being a pain - this was quite a showstopper for me
