cp of FreeBSD seem to different operating depending on the options of r and R. I think to solve the problem by changing from cp -pr "${cp_args[@]}" \ to cp -pR "${cp_args[@]}" \ in multibuild.eclass. # ls -lha /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2e/work/openssl-1.0.2e/apps/md4.c lrwxr-xr-x 1 portage portage 34B Dec 3 23:44 /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2e/work/openssl-1.0.2e/apps/md4.c -> openssl-1.0.2e/../crypto/md4/md4.c Option -pr, an error is displayed.) # cp -pr /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2e/work/openssl-1.0.2e/apps /tmp/pr cp: /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2e/work/openssl-1.0.2e/apps/md4.c: No such file or directory # ls -lha /tmp/pr/md4.c ls: /tmp/pr/md4.c: No such file or directory Option -pR, error is not displayed.) # cp -pR /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2e/work/openssl-1.0.2e/apps /tmp/pR # ls -lha /tmp/pR/md4.c lrwxr-xr-x 1 portage portage 34B Dec 3 23:44 /tmp/pR/md4.c -> openssl-1.0.2e/../crypto/md4/md4.c FYI, https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.2/bin/cp/cp.c?revision=285830&view=markup >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2e::gentoo * openssl-1.0.2e.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...

Hmm, the man page doesn't even list '-r'. I guess we should change that to 'cp -R -p' indeed, and possibly also enable 'cp -R -P -p' in multibuild_merge_root() as '-r' probably caused the original symlink issue. I'm going to submit a patch soon, will that be a problem if I asked you to test it?
Ok then. Merged just the 'cp -r' -> 'cp -R' change. commit 7adffa3687e1abf7ee24b096b8ab2f39a7ee32b9 Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> Date: Sat Dec 19 08:57:56 2015 multibuild.eclass: _copy_sources(), use 'cp -R' for BSD compat, #568692 Use 'cp -R' for multibuild_copy_sources() as the '-r' option triggers triggers undesired '-L' behavior wrt symbolic links.
