The "install-file" (our copy) macro on macos includes a check for weird attributes using `xattr` so that we can remove them. We use the switch `-s` to make sure that xattr operates on symlinks instead of their targets. However, if we find something, we also run `chmod` to make sure we have the permissions to remove attributes in the first place, but the chmod command does not have the `-h` switch to operate on the symlink instead of the target. So if the symlink gets copied before its target, there is a chance that we try to run chmod before the target exists, which will result in a failure. My proposed fix is to add `-h` to the chmod command so that everything operates on the symlink instead of the target.
