I'm not sure how much of an actual bug this is in regards to GNAP as I've experienced this cp error before. It just happens to be making things a pain to workaround. I keep GNAP development files(overlays, specs) in my /home which is mounted with user_xattr, attempts to use cp within the GNAP scripts to other volumes not mounted with user_xattr result in an, "Operation not supported" error. /tmp is tmpfs not mounted with user_xattr This is probably not the best solution, but I changed all references to "cp -rp" in my gnap_make script to use "rsync -a" instead. Another solution I had was to use a temporary directory within the user_xattr mounted volume. To do this, after su, export TMPDIR=/home/somedir mktemp will read this environment variable and use the new location. Of course it would be very nice to be able to set the TMPDIR by using command line options to gnap_make.

I created a /root/.catalystrc which contains export TMPDIR=/path/to/somewhere
The GNAP project has been discontinued, its removal was acknowledged by steev. If you need to, you can contact the Gentoo Embedded project; more information about the Gentoo Embedded project can be found on the following link: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/ This removal happens as part of project cleanup by the Gentoo Council's members.
