cc/gcc: copy file with 'cp -v', it rotates the progress bar

Installing the gcc test-suite can take a bit of time, so the
progress bar is currently not rotating because there is no
output during the copy. For an unsuspecting user, it could
mean the process hung.

With 'cp -v', the progress bar now rotates.

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,
     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
