misc: do not use "tar cf - |tar xf -"

Using this: tar cf - -C "/some/place" |tar xf - -C "/some/other/place"
to copy a directory to another place does not properly fail (when it does).

Using this instead: cp -av "/some/place" "/some/other/place"
makes it easy to see why and how it failed.

reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g.,
yann@935
     4
MPC8548, MPC8572).  It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent
yann@935
     5
gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate
yann@935
     6
dual-precision floating point instructions by default.

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to

     9
make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE

    10
ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently
yann@935
    11
unsupported).  At this time, the kernel build system only passes
yann@1076
    12
-mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully)."
