[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, link './arm-none-eabi/lib/libg.a' -> '/Users/XiNGRZ/****/arm-none-eabi/lib/libc.a'] {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'link',
  path: './arm-none-eabi/lib/libg.a',
  dest: '/Users/XiNGRZ/****/arm-none-eabi/lib/libc.a'
}

Just did some investigation and found:

decompress/index.js

Line 121 in 84a8c10

return fsP.symlink(x.linkname, dest);

I think x.linkname should be joined with the output path. Otherwise fsPromises.symlink can't find the target.

Finally I've fixed the problem. I would like to share my solution.

The issue was brought by hard links:

1. The source of hard link should be an absolute path, instead of a relative path
2. Creation of hard links should be deferred until all files are wrote to the file system

I've make a test case to reproduce the issue, as well as the solution. Since my fork was refactored far ahead from this project, I'm not going to make a PR.

I also encountered this error.

Is it possible to fix this package to include the patch suggested by @xingrz ?
