One possibility is files rather than links are being copied. The options to 'cp' for Solaris are different from those for Linux and OS X. I have not changed those, but needed to for Solaris, to avoid this '-a' option for 'cp'. For OS's apart from Linux and OS X, I've just assumed POSIX support. I've made no attempt to work around any limitions on HP-UX, but issued a warning on that and several other older platforms. If you can take a look at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-fixes/sage-bdist/ I'd welcome any comments. I was going to add that to the trac item for review, but perhaps I need to look at it more carefully first.
