distutils3_do_install wants to sed out build directory references from
all binaries in ${bindir} and ${sbindir}. It tries to avoid touching
symlinks by doing 'test -f' on the files as it iterates, but test always
dereferences symlinks so this will touch both real files and symlinks to
real files.

The end result of this is that recipes which ship a script /usr/bin/foo
and a symlink /usr/bin/bar -> foo, bar will be replaced with a real file
which is a duplicate of foo, wasting disk space.

Replace the loop with a find loop which can look at the real file type,
not the target type.

Does the same also apply to setuptools as in Tim's distutils deprecation
series?
If so it should definitely we be merged there

done
