--- Comment #41 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> ---
Our cp has had -N for a while now, but that doesn't really help.  The cp
command used to copy bootstrap tools is the host cp.  Replacing `cp -pf` with
`cp -Npf` will fix building with /usr/obj on NFS on recent FreeBSD, but break
building on older FreeBSD or non-FreeBSD hosts (except recent macOS) whose cp
command does not have a -N option.

A better solution is probably to replace `cp -pf` with `install -p`.  We
already assume that the host has a working install command.
