Ideally it is transparent to the uselect-user (either end-user or
developer) if the implementation actually does the symlink or emulates
it via copy.
It might be enough to select the implementation based on the
"host-system" (CHOST), which may be different to the
"build-system" (CBUILD).
Eventually, uselect won't need to detect the CHOST itself, but get it
from some external resource (cmdline, env-var, config-file, ...).
