:yes, committed as 3d6b90ba on -DEVELOPMENT, or 6fab5bd4 on 2.0-RELEASE.
:However, now that we can set file flags on symlinks, I'd change cp
:to inherit them as well instead of silently ignoring it, what do
:people think?

    As long as a new-built cp still works on older systems that do
    not have the system call (i.e. doesn't fault and exit due to the
    missing system call).

    This may be the right time to change missing system call errors
    (ENOSYS) to not generate a signal any more, like linux.
