OK, GNU cpio works as you say. I was just confused about bsd.gecko.mk
cd ${FAKEDIR}/${dir} && ${FIND} . | \
${CPIO} -pdm -L -R ${LIBOWN}:${LIBGRP} ${PREFIX}/${dir}
that creates empty directories, e.g.
PREFIX/lib/firefox3/bin
PREFIX/lib/firefox3/idl
PREFIX/lib/firefox3/include
PREFIX/lib/firefox3/lib
rather than copying contents.
