Yes, I removed the dependency for gnucp on Mac (that ships with a bsd-style cp
that however is POSIX compilant), and I did leave the reference to GNUCOPY in
the makefiles.
Changing GNUCOPY to only COPY wherever gnu-copy is not needed, would have meant
to literally include every module in a cws and to modify each and every
makefile.
While the makefiles include $(GNUCOPY), the environment variable GNUCOPY is not
set by configure/setsoenv when gnucp is not found, so the "fallback" of "GNUCOPY
is cp" is done in unitools.mk in that case (as written in the initial comment)
configure still prefers to use gnucp and uses that if it is found in PATH
That aside:
Using -u in a makefile is a bad thing anyway (IMHO) - That's what a makefile
system is for.
So:
GNUCOPY is uses in almost every makefile, although it never is really used.
Plain "cp" is enough.
a command within a makefile rule should not check itself whether the target is
newer than the source. Leave this to the make tool (IMHO).
I'll have a more closer look at that makefile and try to come up with a suitable
patch.
