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.

Impacted:
libc/uClibc
debug/ltrace
tools/sstrip
scripts/populate 
     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     2 http://www.nabble.com/PATCH:-Use-short-for-fnstsw-td14775171.html

     3 

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
