New description:
The optional package "database_stein_watkins_mini" fails to install on
Solaris 10:
== Hardware & associated software ==
* Sun Blade 1000
* 2 x 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ CPUs
* 2 GB RAM
* Solaris 10 03/2005 (first release of Solaris 10)
* gcc 4.4.3 (uses Sun linker and assembler)
== Sage version ==
* 4.3.4.alpha1
* Patch #8509 removing the -o option to grep to allow packages to
install.
== The problem ==

== The solution ==
This is because 'cp' uses an illegal option -v, which is not defined by
POSIX.
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/cp.html
Since the GNU version of 'cp' only uses the -v option to show what is
being done, it is not important. Consulting rom the 'cp' man page on
Linux:
{{{
-v, --verbose
explain what is being done
}}}
The -v option can simply be removed.
