	Since patches and sharing of wisdom have been requested...

	My approach has been simply overriding the true (broken) gcp
	using a wrapper script to convert gcp command line options to
	those used by the native cp.
	This of course is not so much a patch but simply a workaround.
	See my replacement gcp script at the end.

	I have put this gcp replacement in my own ~/bin directory and
	inserted my own ~/bin in the PATH before /usr/local/bin, which
	is the location of the real gcp.

	Additionally I have manually edited the configure script to
	remove the test for real gcp.
	Another means to the same result is running "make configure"
	while the replacement gcp is not yet in the PATH.
	Either way this part has always taken some manual action.

	As I already have pointed out, the actual patch should go into
	gcp anyhow.
	So, I think a workaround is exactly what is needed to get OOo
	successfully built while gcp remains broken.

	I hope this helps.


	Cheers,
