This is a bit hairy issue.
Stepmake (ie, the ./stepmake dir) was (and still is) designed to be a
separate package, as a handy make system drop-in, that could be
configured, installed and distributed by doing:
cd lilypond-x.y.z/stepmake
./configure
make install
make dist
We got bored of hacking makefiles all the time and it never really
took off. However, any stepmake package expects to have the stepmake
directory, with all the .make files in
./stepmake/stepmake
That works when stepmake is a drop-in, as it is for Lily, but when
built and configured by itself, the symlink is needed.

Don't do diffs manually, see
