Just cp the files over instead of a symlink.

Let's assuming the wwiv is built in $HOME/git/wwiv/_build

export BUILT_BIN=$HOME/git/wwiv/_build
cp $BUILT_BIN/bbs/bbs .
cp $BUILD_BIN/wwivd/wwivd
....

depending on what you change you only copy of the binaries you change, I
usually am only changing one thing at a time.
