The code obtains both variables, but modifies the local copy of "S" before comparing them, causing the comparison to always return false. This can cause the build to fail when the EXTERNALSRC flag is enabled, since the code will try to create a symlink even if one already exists. This patch resolves the issue by comparing the variables before they are modified.
