I don't see such a warning coming from Leopard's cp.
And indeed the explanation in "man cp" of the -P flag has not changed:
"-P If the -R option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.
This is the default."
This means in particular that the -P flag is superfluous.

10.4:
int
setpgrp(pid_t pid, pid_t pgrp);
10.5:
pid_t
setpgrp(void);
Both have
int
setpgid(pid_t pid, pid_t pgid);
