In case you're preparing build-from-clone instructions,
the above did not work for me:

With these commands,
  git clone git://github.com/brkorb/pcopy.git && cd pcopy &&
  tar -xf *.tar && touch stamp-* && touch *opts.[ch] && make -j1

I get this output:
  cc  -std=c99 -g -O4 -c -o pcopy.o   pcopy.c
