title: install symbolic links with coreutils install
body: <p>I built a library and I want to install the library to <code>/usr/local/lib</code> using coreutils <code>install</code>. The result of the build looks as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>libfoo.so -&gt; libfoo.so.1
  libfoo.so.1 -&gt; libfoo.so.1.1
  libfoo.so.1.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to retain the symbolic links and <code>install</code> the files as is to <code>/usr/local/lib</code>. However, if I run</p>
  
  <pre><code>install libfoo* /usr/local/lib
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the symbolic links are resolved and <code>/usr/local/lib</code> looks as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>libfoo.so
  libfoo.so.1
  libfoo.so.1.1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In other words, these are all real files and no symbolic links.</p>
  
  <p>The manpage of <code>install</code> does not contain any information about resolving symbolic links. How can I <code>install</code> symbolic links?</p>
