[GRASS5] cp -L Problems with grass 5.1 Makefiles under Linux

Today I tried to compile grass51 from cvs. I am using a Debian i386 box.

I needed to change lib/ogsf/Makefile and visualization/nviz/Makefile to complete the compile.

In all cases the problem was a cp with the -L which my gnu cp doesn’t like. After removing the -L options I did a make distclean and the compile went to completion. I didn’t check to see if my cp was current I believe it was Debian potato (current stable)

Thanks. I have removed that '-L'.
