Check out the thread "Automake 1.4| released" from yesterday/today. 
There is discussion there about how "cp -p" is broken.

You can use google.com to search the archives-

Automake released site:cygwin.com

There were 15+ messages, but I currently can't find the thread...
Maybe the archives won't be updated until next week?

HTH,
Peter

Sorry. This error seems to be a bit more complicated.
If I remove the p flag I got the following message:

cp -f db_archive db_checkpoint /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/bin/db_checkpoint
cp: copying multiple files, but last argument
`/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/bin/db_checkpoint' is not a directory

So perhabs it is a problem with the Makefile? I don't think so - here the
excerpt:

install_utilities:
        @echo "Installing DB utilities: $(bindir) ..."
        @test -d $(bindir) || \
            ($(mkdir) -p $(bindir) && $(chmod) $(dmode) $(bindir))
        @cd $(bindir) && $(rm) -f $(UTIL_PROGS)
        @$(INSTALLER) -f $(UTIL_PROGS) $(bindir)

with
$(INSTALLER) = cp
$(bindir) = /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/bin
$(UTIL_PROGS) =  db_archive db_checkpoint db_deadlock \
                                 db_dump db_load db_printlog db_recover
db_stat db_upgrade db_verify

I think something is mixed up with the params of the cp command.

HTH

Thomas
