Summary 0001251: Buildroot uses lots of cp commands that assume GNU cp
Description There's some incompatilibity between GNU cp and Mac OS X (probably BSD, too) cp commands. GNU cp arguments -d and -a do not exist on OS X. -a can be written -pPR on OS X. -d is partly covered by -P and partly by -R. -P is the --no-dereference part of -d and -R does what --preserve=links does AFAICT. The ugly part is that -R, which is also recursive, has to be used to get real as-is copying of symbolic links. Attached a patch for some of the cp commands, but there are many more. Maybe, patches could be appended to this report.
