I actually changed it to 'cp -rf' while I was waiting on Saturday and 
it built perfectly.

I have (darwin's ports collection) darwinports installed and using it I 
just installed gsed & gawk and added a path statement to make sure 
/opt/local/bin was looked in first. That trick avoids the usual pit 
falls on macosx. The thing just blitzed away and built a ppc405 
toolchain. I am going to do a mips version as well.

This must have been the most pain-free build in a long time. I'll 
document the steps if anyone wants them.

Thanks for your help.
