As I understand it, I put the file in autobuilder libraries/libgpg-error0 as  src.syscfg.lock-obj-pub.riscos.h     and add a line to the start of the setvars saying     ln -T -s -F $H/src.syscfg.lock-obj-pub.riscos.h  $S/src/syscfg/lock-obj-pub.riscos.h    Have I missed a nicety?  

  That looks OK - however you probably want to copy it rather than symlink  because if anything changes that file as part of the build process it'll  corrupt the autobuilder version.    Why are you doing -F when you aren't using hard links, out of interest?   Best to avoid unusual options if you can (-F means something different on  Linux and FreeBSD; -T doesn't exist on FreeBSD) as it makes it harder to  crossbuild on non-Linux platforms.

your cp variant would seem better. What I used was gleaned from one of the autobuilder library things.

Thanks
