Details

Description:
Installing node-gyp results in a broken symlink for semver.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

$ pacman -Q node-gyp
node-gyp 4.0.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
Just install node-gyp

I'm seeing a broken symlink in /usr/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/node_modules/.bin/semver.
It points to ../semver/bin/semver but that is 2 steps up the path-chain in
../../../semver/bin/semver.

Pretty much the same as what happens in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62563 for gulp...
This task depends upon

Overwrite the link with one pointing to the correct location. Please test.

What I wonder is... for these nodes packages with broken semver links, is it really needed to distribute its node_modules/.bin dir inside the archlinux package? Are those needed for the operations of the package itself?
