If the link is not in place, nvidia-drivers will not build.

There used to be a good system.map explanation here:
http://dirac.org/linux/system.map/
however, it seems to have some problem at the moment. The google cached
copy works (just do a search for linux system.map, it's the first hit).
Sorry, cannot comment on whether the symlink should or should not be
created, and it's been a lot since I built my last LFS. I have almost
always used it, and never had any problem. IIRC the handbook's advice is
to create the link. But, as always, YMMV.
