When building the toolchain on my Mac, it always halts because of an illegal
parameter for cp. the parameter "-d" is not supported on Mac OS X. The
following patch should work on all systems:

[Buildroot] [Bug 821] New: cp: illegal operation

[Nicholas Kinar]

Hello Marcus--

It is good to know that you were able to get some aspects of buildroot 
up and running on Mac OS X.  How do you deal with build dependencies?  I 
have been attempting to run buildroot on 10.5 Leopard using the Fink 
binutils, but I found that I would still have to build fakeroot (and a 
few other associated utilities and libraries) from scratch.

Is fakeroot included with Mac OS X 10.6?  When building, do you still 
receive errors when stripping executables?  When I last tried to run 
buildroot on OS X, some header files particular to Linux-based systems 
could not be found.

That's not the only place cp -d is used:

git grep -l 'cp -d'
Makefile
docs/buildroot.html
package/argus/argus.mk
package/berkeleydb/berkeleydb.mk
package/bsdiff/bsdiff.mk
package/directfb-examples/directfb-examples.mk

package/libdrm/libdrm.mk
package/libeXosip2/libeXosip2.mk
package/libfloat/libfloat.mk
package/libgcrypt/libgcrypt.mk

With the above fixed, can you really build on macosx?

Sorry, I think you'll run into a lot more problems than that to use BR on
!Linux.
E.G.:

git grep 'cp -d'|wc -l
185

On top of that comes the build systems of the individual packages. I think
you'll have a lot easier time dual booting / running Linux in a VM.

We do not support building on Mac OS X at the moment, unless someone with
access to this system steps in to maintain such a port.
