I'm not sure how that relates to Jeremie's (valid) point that these flags need to be part of the system in bsd.own.mk. I admit that getting stuff in there was a little intimidating to me at first, but Ruslan has created a nice automated system, and he'll be glad to help you if you need it.

How about this:
WITH_GCPIO (default) - installs gcpio, symlinks 'cpio' unless WITH_BSDCPIO defined
   WITHOUT_GCPIO - does not install gcpio at all
   WITH_BSDCPIO (default) - installs bsdcpio, symlinks 'cpio'
   WITHOUT_BSDCPIO - does not install bsdcpio at all

If by "not install" you mean "build or install" then I'm with you, but I think it might be a little complicated. I'm not sure why you want to build and install both by default (except maybe to ease people's concerns in the interim period) but if it were me, in HEAD I would do this:

WITH_BSDCPIO (default)  build, install, and symlink to cpio
WITHOUT_GCPIO (default) do not build or install

Then if WITHOUT_BSDCPIO is defined you don't build or install it, and if WITH_GCPIO is defined you build, install, and symlink it, regardless of the state of the BSDCPIO knob.

When this gets MFC'ed I would just flip the defaults.


FWIW,

Doug
