Comment(by wbhart):
The patch posted here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-fixes/flint/spkg-
install.patch
changes the -a option to cp to -p. I have checked that -a is exactly
equivalent to -dpR. Here R is not relevant as only one file is copied and
R is for recursive. The -d is not relevant as it is for symbolic links and
is again not relevant for copying a single actual file.
The -p option is indeed available on Solaris and T2, so the patch is good.
The patch is clearly conservative.
Note this is not an issue with FLINT itself, but with the FLINT spkg
installer.
