Environment on Gentoo/FreeBSD that contains coreutils, dev-python/cython installation will fail. When coreutils is installed, cp will try to use the option of GNU. However, GNU's cp command is provided as gcp on FreeBSD. Please add the code in order to be a successful installation of cython on FreeBSD. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge coreutils 2. emerge dev-python/cython 3.

Created attachment 336704 [details, diff] sample patch for python.eclass
cython is using distutils-r1 now.
sys-apps/file and dev-python/pyelftools are still using distutils.eclass. I'll re-open this bug for packages of other than dev-python/cython.
(In reply to Yuta SATOH from comment #3) not really relevant. the packages will slowly migrate to newer eclasses over time. in fact, both file and pyelftools have.
