flea# ls -l cp
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15300 Jul 31 12:52 cp
flea# ./cp -a cp.o cp.o.2
flea# ./cp
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-apv] source_file target_file
        cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-apv] source_file ... target_directory
flea# ls -l /bin/cp
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15300 Apr 24 13:55 /bin/cp
flea#

Looks to me with optimizations, the addition of the option seems to add 
nothing for the -a case at least.
