+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1255485 +++

I had a weird bug that I was dealing with where I had added a new GeckoProgram target in a directory where Makefile.in didn't state NSDISTMODE=copy. As a result, I got a bunch of really weird XPCOM initialisation failures when trying to launch the resulting binary. Apparently this is a known issue when an executable is symlinked rather than copied?

I think that GeckoProgram should imply copying rather than symlinking.
Patch from Bill. ewong reviewed it in Bug 1288966.

Fixed the comment and the NIT. r+ retained.
