Summary

We need to preserve modification times on bootstrap tools, but cp -p
also tries to preserve flags, which fails if OBJROOT is on NFS. A -N
option was added to cp for this purpose, but trying to use that would
break cross-building on hosts that don't have that option. The best
remaining option is install -p, which we already assume is present.

Makefile.inc1
2814–2817	Agreed, but it's everywhere including several variable and target names so I figured let's just fix the immediate issue first and worry about cosmetics later.
