Instead of making /etc/make.profile a symlink to the profile 
directory, make it a directory. In this directory make a symlink to 
every file in the profile. Remove the links of those files you want 
to change, copy them, and edit them. They will not get overwritten.

ps. a diff once in a while to check for differences that are not 
nescesarry is adviseable.
