>Description:
databases/db3 does not honor $CP but instead uses the cp from the shell path. On systems with inferior system cp this leads to a failure in the install stage due to incompatible options.

As another issue: pkg/28819 applies to db3 as well.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
First, make sure the pkgsrc settings are honored (I in fact only needed cp, but the others might be necessary on other systems:

I'm not sure, maybe these configure envs (or some better suited ones) should be set globally. I am not sure whether these variables are generally honored by configure scripts.

In addition, dist/configure needs the following change:

-INSTALLER="\$(LIBTOOL) --mode=install cp"
+INSTALLER="\$(LIBTOOL) --mode=install \$(cp)"



A different approach might be to add appropriate links or wrappers for these tools so they're envoked when scripts call a simple cp, chmod, ln, mkdir, or rm, respectively.
