That is false advise, however, since you want to create all necessary symlinks in the %install section in order to include them in the %files section and the package. If you don't include the symlinks in the package, but let ldconfig create them, the files don't belong to any package, which is a packaging bug. The original poster should give a few more details, such as verbose output of listing the buildroot and rpmbuild output. We have thousands of packages in Fedora 6 where rpmbuild does not segfault when packaging library symlinks, so this sounds very unusual.
