I don't understand. There is a symlink in x86_64-darwin in TL's SVN.

I'll investigate, but the symlink in bin is *not* the correct general solution.

The --sys option is supposed to do that. This is the correct behaviour (as
opposed to detecting the uid or anything), since the TL tree may not be
maintained by root, so the script cannot guess if you want it to operate
system-wide or not, so you have to request it explicitly.

Again, the --sys option does that. But I'll install a symlink mkluatexfontdb-sys
too, for consistency (it should have been install with mkluatexfontdb, but I
forgot).
