Creating symlink in /usr/bin when creating an RPM

ln -sf /opt/bupc2.8/bin/upcc ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/%{_bindir}

The link needs to be created in the %build section and it also needs to point to where you’re installing the RPM.

Before creating the link make sure that the destination directory exists, i.e. ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/%{_bindir}. You can use mkdir or install -d for this.
