Subject: how do Linux cp(1) options translate to NetBSD's cp options?

I'm trying to install a program whose Makefile has:
"test -d ${DESTDIR}${LIBSODIR} && cp -pd ${INSTLIBSO} ${DESTDIR}$ {LIBSODIR} ;
^^
cp complains that it has no "d" option.
A websearch indicates that Linux's cp uses:
-d
same as --no-dereference --preserve=link
--no-dereference
never follow symbolic links
-p
same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
--preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps),
if possible additional attributes: links, all
Anyone know what the NetBSD equivalent to `cp -pd` is? I've read the man
page but don't understand what the differences are between the two cp's.
TIA
