Problem:
fileutils version 4.1-2, specifically: cp.exe does not work properly.

System Info:
Windows 2000, Cygwin DLL version 1.5.7

Reproducing from prompt:
prompt> cp some_file ./bin/

Output:
cp: `some_file' and `./bin/some_file' are the same file


Reproducing from within Makefile:
cp ./some_dir/some_file ./bin/;

Make output:
cp: `./some_dir/some_file' and `./bin/some_file' are the same file
make: *** [install] Error 1


Workaround:
Reinstall fileutils 4.1-1
