It's a very bad idea to mess around with standard settings in that file unless you really know what you are doing (and for the record, I don't know the details about that either).

It is "allowed", but unless you know the low level details of how your distribution is designed you are very likely to mess things up. If you don't have those symlinks, it's much better to install the "development" variants of the relevant packages. Amongst other things, they will create those syminks.
