Prevent symlinks from breaking during pkgadd in Solaris

In some Solaris systems, while using pkgadd or while installing software in a symlinked (soft linked) directory, the symlink breaks and a directory is created instead.
One workaround for that is to set the following environment variable PKG_NONABI_SYMLINKS to true:

export PKG_NONABI_SYMLINKS=true

Then try the pkgadd or install again.
