I think he was responding to my hyperbolic statement there.  There's
no reason not to use symlinks if we can't bind things anyway.  Your
option 2 just links to the root dir in /usr/local which is just fine
provided the permissions are in place and the /usr/local dir is not
just a bunch of symlinks to individual files in /tmp/tcloop  (actually
the case in my tinycore install, not that I care).  The only problem
with symlinks here wasith your option 1 where cp was making copies of
symlinks instead of original files beacuse you used 'cp -HRp' instead
of 'cp -LRp'.
