Description of the changes in your PR

When the git repo is cloned from a windows machine it does not (always) recognize symlinks. I simply copied the contents of the file the symlink was pointing to, into the file with the symlink.

Fixes the following issue(s)

Fixes #10963

If this change should be documented in some way to avoid errors when editing only one of the two existing files let me now. (Also my first pull request so be gentle :) )

Realized i copied a different file than the one which was actually referenced by the symlink, sorry for the confusion.

Can confirm that this fixes the windows build problem

NOTE however that Git is still reporting that the symlink is present, so some additional changes might be required...
