Hi,

~> cpio -dumpl /tmp/
test
cpio: Can't create '/tmp/test': Cross-device link: Cross-device link

while

| gcpio -dumpl /tmp/
test
gcpio: /tmp: Operation not permitted
gcpio: cannot link test to /tmp//test (will copy instead): Cross-device link

The set of ${COPYTREE_*} "macros" in the ports infrastructure depend on
this feature, so I would rate this as "highly important"...
