I'm trying to install a program whose Makefile has:
"test -d ${DESTDIR}${LIBSODIR} && cp -pd ${INSTLIBSO} ${DESTDIR}$ {LIBSODIR} ;
                                      ^^
cp complains that it has no "d" option.

A websearch indicates that Linux's cp uses:
   -d
      same as --no-dereference --preserve=link 
   --no-dereference 
      never follow symbolic links 
   -p 
      same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps 
   --preserve[=ATTR_LIST] 
      preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps),
      if possible additional attributes: links, all

Anyone know what the NetBSD equivalent to `cp -pd` is?  I've read the man
page but don't understand what the differences are between the two cp's.

TIA
